Whey up internet! Here we are, back up the
field with the Swing-o-Chucky. The huge trebuchet that we've made. Now then,
last video we had some sling issues, and it wasn't quite releasing properly and going
as far as it could do. But we had a mega good shot so we've made a new sling to test. Now this
video is sponsored by Xbox Game Pass for pc and the Age of Empire's definitive collection,
which is on there. Now all the old games have all been remastered. All the graphics have been
uprated, so click the link in the description, go and check it out and like in the game, because
it's a war game, they attack castles and walls, we've made our own wall as a target. So let's
get this sling tested let's see if we can hit it! So the new sling is some hooking great strap, bolted together, and then it's got this
plate, which I've put seamed in between which holds the thing inside, so it can't
shoot out sideways. You see this beauty go! Okay so that works a lot better. Now next up
we're going to try and smash this wall down! But we was up here all day yesterday and we
couldn't hit it! No matter how many times we tried, we moved the trebuchet back and forth,
side to side, you name it we still missed it! So today we've added two cars and a caravan! We
basically made the target bigger! Right come on! Look so close, just there. I think it
just clipped the handle or something on the way down. Right come on, you've
got a proper smash it this time! It's punched a hole. Oh no!
We finally hit something! Right that's it! I've been up here for two
days now trying to hit stuff. I mean yeah we've had an engine but it's no good.
So based on the theory of head engines, I say we pull the engine out of
this car. That is a better idea! Look at that car over there,
begging for a new engine! Mwahahaha! We've got the car. We've ratchet strapped
the engine up to the trebuchet, and then we've got our surrogate car down there, we're
gonna perform a medieval engine swap, yeah! Well the engine's gone, but
it didn't quite reach the KA I suppose that was always going to happen.
Here we go ladies and gentlemen we have a car. Right I've had a bit of fun. I
want to hit that caravan now! We've made as hole in the back of the caravan! Now of course Age of Empires is kind of a
retro game, so I'm thinking I can imagine myself retro gaming, in the caravan like this,
So I've got myself a retro computer screen, I think we fire it try and get it through
the hole in the roof we've just made. No retro gaming for you Furze, so
it's nearly Christmas, so I'm thinking we fire a christmas tree! Now 2020 has been a
bit of a sucky year, so we gonna Trebuchet it! Right we've destroyed some cars.
We've smashed a caravan up and thrown christmas trees and all sorts.
Now I think it's time for some fire! Taking my ball of fire for a walk! No we broke the trebuchet! I think our
axle snapped! Oh no! It's the bearings, the bearings are given! They've split!
Oh dear! Well there you are! That's that! Oh we've broken it, oh but it's all right it's
perfectly fixable. Now I'm gonna fix it and I'm gonna put it back together, because we would
like to try and add more weight to that weight, if anything. At the moment we can't because the
JCB is peeking out and it won't lift anymore, but then once we get that sorted, hopefully we'll be
able to chuck heavier stuff like the cars and then also you've been sending me loads of different
ideas on sling designs and various things like that. There is a lot more scope in this and i
think we can get it to be even more powerful than what it is and chuck twice as far. Now thank you
very much for the sponsor of this video. They've been fantastic Xbox Game Pass for pc and of course
the Age of Empire's definitive collection, all the old games have all been brought up to modern spec
but it's not just that, there's other games on there as well. There's hundreds actually, there's
classics like Halo, Wasteland 3, Doom, Right click the link in the description, it's all there. I'll
see you in the next one. Happy Christmas people!
I screwed the title up. It schould say "our" instead of "your"
