How far will it shoot?
Is it just air, or do you have a ram to push the shirts out?

Also anybody thinking of taking this to a competition next year? :D

This was our offseason project. We were asked by our school to create something to shoot tshirts into the crowd at a homecoming rally. We managed to attach the cannon to our 2005 robot so that it could be aimed with the arm.

Ok so i'll try and upload some more pictures. I just got back from our homecoming football game where we shot even more shirts. this time we lobbed them nearly straight up (sometimes it went clear over the crowd... oops). i believe we were using around 45 psi. and yes, only air is being used to launch the shirts. and to answer someone else's question, this was our tetra-stacking robot with the tip of the arm removed.

edit: here are some more pictures.
