ESE | Introduction to Design – Trebuchet Competition

The ESE class of 2027 Introduction to Design cadets conducted a Trebuchet Competition event on December 11.  Each of the six teams was provided 20 pounds of weight with a maximum drop height of 3 feet as a potential energy source to throw a tennis ball as far as possible down the field.  The teams spent 8 weeks designing, building and testing their Trebuchet design concepts.  The competition event had 3 design objectives; longest distance, most consistent distance and fastest firing rate of 5 tennis balls.
