Lego Trebuchet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday July 6, 2002 @05:36AM from the i-think-i'm-gonna-hurl dept.

An anonymous reader submitted linkage to a trebuchet made of legos. Using australian coins for counterweights, it is able to throw a marble 50 feet or more. I wish they had some photos of it in action, and maybe some schematics for do it yourselfers, but regardless, looks like a fun project if you have a pile of legos and a 4-day weekend ;)

How ironic that you used the word 'constructive'. That is exactly what Legos are, means of constructing things out of small blocks. Were you beaten as a child, or do you not have any creativeness ?
