And does the counterweight have to have a fixed weight? For instance, if we decide that an apple of a certain size needs more or less weight, can we adjust our counterweight?
Thanks!

While i'm not an official on the trebuchet team, i believe the purpose is to make sure your counterweight just does not exceed the max and i believe adjusting it is fine
