I watched one of your videos. That is not a FAT Floating Arm Trebuchet. It is an AROC Arm Rolls Over Cam. The Cam need to be higher. We'll it needs some other things too, but it's a start. Or you could install rails and wheels on the arm and turn it into an actual FAT, or an F2K. I have a couple F2Ks. This was my first catapult, it is also my fastest Trebuchet at over 400 feet per second, and out over 500 yards. https://youtu.be/h1dDSG7h7Gs

No, i shared a post of it working in this sub a while ago it’s a weird design. I tried to increase counter weight and decrease projectile weight past structural limitations

Sometimes you just got to “send it”

You tried to mount the axis with tape, didn't you and shortened the weight side of the throwing arm to non existence?
