Well a few of my friends and I got bored yesterday around 5pm...We wanted to make a go-kart with a Rotary engine out of a late rx-7. Went down the street to the junkyard to see if maybe they had a junked rx-7 we could take the engine out, but with no luck we headed back to my place. Once back at my place we got an itch to built a trebuchet. We searched the net to get some plans and see what we needed. So off to the hardware store..we didn't get started on it till 9:30pm and got done building it at 12:00am. Heres the finished product.
