To be pedantic, that's still covered under E

I don’t know of a single engineer who has never built a trebuchet.

I’m not even a “proper” engineer and I have like, five desktop trebs, 2 ballistae and some other odds and ends (3d printed, of course,)

It’s like, a right of passage or something.

I have a scar over my eye from a trebuchet I built in high school, then I went to college for engineering, so that checks out

yeah. Gotta be careful with them.

even the desktop variety has a lot of energy in the system.

Probably better than the scar my cousin has on his thigh from an ad hoc fulcrum catapult.

I’m a software engineer, but now I feel like I need to build a trebuchet.
