Re: Water balloon ballista
Advice: make sure you have a good release. My Scout troop once built a trebuche and it only launched a tennis ball two feet due to the release (a ballcap). Other than that, try a lot of rocks in a bag for a counterweight and a nice long lever arm. Oh, and make sure that you have a sturdy support. Someone from 842 might be able to help you a bit better; they have done things like this in the past.
