I most like the secondary movement - the ropes, and the trebuchet spending the last of its energy and momentum swing back and forth ever so slightly. This secondary motion adds so much life to it. Very nice.

Funny to see these Post Supporting Derby-Q With only one post. It’s pretty tight between Cory and Derby. 
However…we’ll have to wait to know who the winner is.
Still laughing about those one posts!

Derby-Q Salano nearly had the Best Simulation as well but there was something I really liked about the way CORYC’s Treb reacted.

Thanks Roberto, it was a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to the next one. I’m suprised how well mine came out considering how good Derby’s entry was. One question though. How did he tie himself?
Edit Answered Question on the first post of the thread.
