This is kind of a bad picture, but you can see that we got the counter-weight to work. It is just a cup with some fishing wire holding the cup to some nails poking through the side. We also got the sling to work. If there was more weight, we would be able to launch things. However, because we don't have enough weight (the cup couldn't support it), it just gets held inside of the sling instead of actually launching. However, we can easily fix that with our real trebuchet, so we are pretty ready to start creation of the real trebuchet.
