Siege the day!
By: System Administrator  on: 04/18/2008 [11:17 pm]  (1167 reads)
A new design for an old idea. The X-treme Onager is a simple torsion engine, with a frame designed for three advantages over a traditional Onager:

1. It puts the skein in the middle of a double-frame for added strength
2. It eliminates the need to drop the sling into a hole or off the edge of a table
3. It allows the arm to rotate farther, past the traditional vertical stop.


This design achieves those goals and it looks darn cool too!

Desktop_Trebuchet
Defend your desktop!

Our new Desktop Trebuchet is now available! It's a perfect ornament to any desktop or bookshelf. Unlike most model trebuchets, the sides angle inwards for a stronger axle and to create complex angles at the joinery. It's a much more interesting model, and it hurls missiles (included) over 20 feet!

New and Improved, the F.A.T.
Guillotine-style trebuchet is back!

This one has lots of improvements over the old model.

We've updated the frame architecture, wheels,
release-pin and trigger. It's a much better machine!

Injury on Yankee Siege's Crew
By: System Administrator  on: 09/25/2007 [03:32 pm]  (1539 reads)
Chuck Willard, one of the engineers on team Yankee Siege, was knocked unconscious by the arm of the machine when it released prematurely and whacked him on the chin. Knowing the size and capabilities of that machine, it's amazing that he's survived at all. apparently, Chuck is one tough guy.

Here's the whole story.external link

Walker, 12:12 pm, 07/04/2008: Happy Birthday USA
Thomas, 03:47 pm, 07/03/2008: Time off for good behavior.
madmattd, 02:51 pm, 07/03/2008: Oh no. Lol
Walker, 10:14 am, 07/03/2008: He's Baaaaa-ack
whipperguy, 02:51 am, 07/01/2008: IM BACK!!!!!!!!
Thomas, 05:12 pm, 06/30/2008: Aer Flingus, London to Dublin by trebuchet? Over the Irish Sea? Will that be business class or coach?
Thomas, 02:18 pm, 06/30/2008: Yeah, it's a joke. By someone who has no catapult knowledge.
Dino_Ptisi, 03:35 am, 06/30/2008: The article that's linked at the top of the page right now. About Albany using trebuchets as transport to save gas. It was posted here about two weeks ago.
Thomas, 09:59 pm, 06/29/2008: What article? Was it published on April Fools Day? Generally this sort of thing is a joke, or someone's smokin' something strange.
Dino_Ptisi, 06:07 pm, 06/29/2008: Was that short article about trebuchets being used for transport a joke? It had to be right?
Murray, 10:33 pm, 06/28/2008: Your point is both well made and disturbing.
Thomas, 04:08 pm, 06/27/2008: Murray, of course it's legal. If it weren't how would they be able to run political ads?
Murray, 10:34 pm, 06/15/2008: My god that video hurt to watch. Can it be legal so missinform people to this degree?
Walker, 12:21 pm, 06/07/2008: No new posts since the 4th?
Thomas, 06:02 pm, 05/30/2008: Plenty of stuff is wrong. No sling on the catapult, then he says it isn't sophisticated, triggers the spoonager from directly behind. Spud gun made of Pringles tubes, lighter fluid as a propellant. Lame puns. Easier to count the things he did right.
madmattd, 03:44 pm, 05/30/2008: onager=trebuchet? I think not!
Walker, 10:51 am, 05/30/2008: Count the mistakes in this Video: [Link]
