  • @azericthetraveller6355

    Just a thing. This isn’t a trebuchet, it’s a catapult. The difference is that trebuchets use weight, while catapults use some kind of tension or pulling, like springs.
    Edit: I was informed that actually, the difference is that trebuchets have the weight dangling by a string, while catapults always have a solid lever, but may or may not have a weight.

    • @ptrjnsn5719
      @ptrjnsn5719 3 года назад +14

      That's not true, trebuchets accelerate the load with a lever and a string giving it a much bigger circle and so, a much bigger lever while a catapult only uses a solid lever to launch the load, but also a simple weight.

      I thought that initially on seeing this video too. Pretty sure RCE went into the events fairly cold; without understanding the challenges and definitely without prior practice.
      But _then_ I thought, hold on - what's the title of the event?
      In the real Olympics, do you think the competitors turn up with no idea what they'll have to do? Without have spent years, sometimes decades honing their specific skill to perfection?
      What I'd like to see instead is a Polyunseenchallenge event!

    not sure if I'm explaining this right becaus I'm wicked tired but -- here goes
    For an optimal 'ramp' like the one you used in the jumping one to get the flags, try a right angle ... but with this formula
    Center stick would be exactly 45/2 degrees from the start/end points, where as the start/end points are 45 degrees apart.
    Anyway, you would use 8 to 16 sticks with a sin(stick/2) which would make it start strong, smoothly even out the angles when near the middle, and then thrust the rest of the way until its exactly 90 degrees
    r/overthinking probably but yeh, also I probably just confused the sh* out of people lol
    Also I think its sin(stick/pi) or sin(stick/4) but meh
