Ingegneria della catapulta

My son and I spent a whole weekend building the trebuchet, and watching it actually launch projectiles across the yard was way more satisfying than I expected. The six models give you a great variety, and the updated designs feel sturdy enough to handle real use.

The instructions are incredibly clear, and my son had all six models built and launching across the living room within an afternoon. It's a fantastic way to sneak some physics lessons into playtime without it feeling like schoolwork.

I've always been fascinated by medieval siege engines, and this kit delivers on that interest. The trebuchet model is particularly well-designed and really demonstrates the physics of counterweight launching. My only wish is that it included more historical background on each weapon type.
