Some of the things that went very well for us during this challenge were ease of operation and the adjustments for angle of release. Our trebuchet was really easy to operate and it was very consistent and because of this we were able to just concentrate on our accuracy and getting as big a distance as we could. Our release was also very well built and we could easily adjust it so we could make it release at just the right angle in whatever situation we are in.
Some recommendations I would make to future builders would be to make sure that your pouch is the right size. If it is too big then the ball won't release properly and it will just fail. Also it is important to make sure your trebuchet is very stable and able to withstand repeated uses consistently. This will make a solid base for you to start altering the performance accurately.
