In this follow-up to last Saturday’s post, Colin Furze chunks more stuff from his trebuchet:

The bearings finally gave out, but he says he’s going to rebuild it so he can make it even more powerful…

Was the contest cancelled? I really got a kick out of those big air cannons and trebuchets, with all this Covid shutdown malarkey I totally forgot.
