Pretty cool, if you're into (or even mildly interested in) Lego engineering.

nice one. My friend built one of those out of meccano once. They are very impressive to watch! But this one is really cool, i like his loading mechanism and stuff.

Nice find! Very ingenious! I'm not sure I would have the paitience to build something that elaborate as I tend to get a little frustrated with the toys that I am forced to apply a million little stickers to for my kids.

I built a trebuchet one weekend. I got bored so I went to home depot and got some wood screws, rope, and some 2x4's and went at it! I used a cement bucket filled with mud as the weight and I was able to launch a baseball over 100 yards it was cool until I over loaded the thing with weight and it tore itself apart when I launched it. the frame work was about 5 feet tall and the throwing arm was two 8 foot 2x4's screwed together to keep it from warping when it fired. I miss my trebuchet
