The Scorpio was a smaller weapon, more of a sniper weapon than a siege engine, being operated by only one person. The Scorpio was basically a primitive giant crossbow, a 'catapult with bolts', probably first invented by the Greeks, then later adopted and used on a larger scale by the Roman legions. This catapult used a system of springs with torsion, making it possible to obtain very great power and thus a high speed of ejection for the bolts.

This is another war machine; this machine can be a good example of Maya dynamics. In this tutorial I create ‘T” Shape object and put 3 cube on each end and make two of them passive body. Attach two springs to third cube and set the value of spring. This is very simple and fun to create this machine
