cool! Looks like you are set to be the top cubical warlord.

But it needs wheels.


I didn't put them on because I just think it looks better without them. The funny thing is the instructions say wheels are not authentic but they include them because people think there should be wheels. This model does have a swinging counterweight.


Wheels make a trebuchet throw farther because they allow the weight to fall vertically because the frame moves. This results in more energy transferred into the boom.
