The Pumpkin Trebuchet!!!!
The pumpkin trebuchet was created by Robert Cagnetta and Michael Robinson in 2005, replacing Rob's tired 2 year old pumpkin catapult. Mike, Rob and a handful of craftspeople created the mortise and tenon oak timber frame, that can be dismantled and reassembled in about an hour. The trebuchet can throw a 10lb pumpkin a stunning 280 feet. Look for more pumpkin chuckin' festivals in the fall.
Robert Cagnetta was on the Rhode Island Builders Association's You're Home Radio Show on Sunday, March 23, 2008 on 920 AM WHJJ. Listen to the broadcast here.
