I would like to have a trebuchet design at the Minifigure scale and simple enough for kids 10+ to build.

enter image description here

Note 1: The counter weight can be any non-LEGO heavy object.

Note 2: On top of the standard LEGO bricks, we have a lot of LEGO Technics and my kids are using them all the time. So, Technics are OK in the design.

I assume you're happy with a non-LEGO weight? Most elements are quite light unless you've got a few weight bricks lying around? – Zhaph - Ben Duguid♦ Jan 14 at 22:04

@Zhaph-BenDuguid Good point. I'm adding this to the question. Thanks! – pcantin Jan 14 at 22:11
Does it need to be functional? – Joubarc♦ Jan 15 at 12:07

Just as a bit of information, minifig scale isn't terribly restrictive as a trebuchet can be relatively massive compared to people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… – jncraton Jan 15 at 12:30

@Joubarc Off course it needs to work. We have a castle to attack. – pcantin Jan 15 at 14:52
