In medieval times, they were seige engines, primarily for knocking down walls but also used to hurl fireballs.
Trees and ropes were used.
Today, trebuchets are primarily used for educational purposes, such as in physics and engineering demonstrations, where they help illustrate concepts of projectile motion and mechanics. They are also popular in historical reenactments and festivals, showcasing medieval technology. Additionally, trebuchets are sometimes utilized in competitive events, such as pumpkin chunkin', where teams build and operate these machines to launch pumpkins for distance.

trebuchets were made for a siege. They were made near forests as there would be a large supply of wood. The trebuchets would not be made at their castle as their soldiers would be tired of pushing the trebuchet to the enemies castle and by the time they would get to their enemies castle they would be too tired to fight and would most likely lose the battle.
In medieval times, trebuchets were the primary weapon used to hurl large stones at walls or gates during sieges. These powerful siege engines operated on a counterweight system, allowing them to launch heavy projectiles over long distances with great force. Trebuchets could effectively breach fortifications, making them a crucial tool in warfare during that era.

wood
Yes they do.
They work as a catapult.
Trebuchets were medieval siege artillery used to throw heavy stones at castle walls and open a breach through which besieging forces could enter. They could also be used to launch projectiles (or a rotting dead cow in a primitive form of germ warfare) over castle walls to weaken and lower the morale of the besieged.
