It sounds like Bangarang's badonkadonk is bigger than expected. Should anything be brought to improve her, like paint? Maybe projectiles, like a microwave? --Clintron 01:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Really we could just use a definite figure on the weight and recalculate figures based on actual dimensions. We don't have any ready means of testing the counterweight's mass other than counterbalancing the arm with a known quantity, I just haven't done it yet as the thing needs a solid axle before anything else. The bend is an easy 5-10 degree bow in the main pivot - I'm planning to cannibalize the drive shaft of some old junker once a suitable junker is secured. Paint couldn't hurt; I've got some good rustoleum sprays and sealers that will help once I strip the surface rust off. Once all that's done, I think she'll live up to her name. Unless, of course, this particular trebuchet happens to identify as male. Here's a few more photos so you can perhaps weigh in with some degree of expertise: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2022943&l=b8f7a&id=69100151 --James. 01:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I was surprised no-one had got it before I did... you'll just have to live with the full stop :P - James.

Fine by me, I just thought I'd give you a hard time about it. After all, it is something of a "FIRST POST" equivelent, I just wish I had gotten it myself. --James. 05:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm going to be out of town for the next couple Saturdays, but if the stock market gives us a location within a reasonable drive, I'm going to see if I can make it sometime between when I get back and when college starts up again. Sorry we missed you.--Pdkauffmann 20:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC
