I once saw an episode of Junkyard Wars where teams built seige engines. One side built a trebuchet, the other side built a mangonel. The mangonel team won the challenge, I recall, as the trebuchet proved quite a challenge to fine-tune. Getting the angle on the release pin correct was the obstacle, as I recall. Some of the watermelons went straight skyward, others were slammed straight into the ground...

Yep, Hitler fancied himself a Roman battle line tactician. And he had his own Praetorian guard and all. His siege machines annihilated Stalingrad and Leningrad but lost the war in the end.
