No Glue! Build it in under ten mintues!This mini version of our World Famous Floating Arm Trebuchet is a real powerhouse in a desktop sized package. It can hurl anything from marbles to golf balls across the room or across the yard! The trebuchet is essentially a gravity powered energy conversion machine, turning potential energy into kinetic energy and using it to throw a ball. It's a great way to see classical mechanics in action!It stands sixteen inches tall, thirteen inches long and nine inches wide. Just big enough to see some real action, but not too big to keep on a bookshelf.Precision cut by computer controlled machinery from top-quality 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood -- the best available.
