War Machine is a high-stakes engineering and strategy challenge where teams step into the shoes of medieval tacticians. Their mission: design and construct a working trebuchet to defend their “city” from an impending invasion. But this isn’t just about brute force, it’s about precision, collaboration, and smart decision-making. Teams must calculate projectile mass, launch angle, and counterweight to achieve the perfect strike. Every role matters, every choice counts, and every launch is a test of alignment, ownership, and execution.
