Wow this is most impressively scary. Karthik isn't known for shooting down the competition. :P

I think the robot standing behind him could save us all
I had my clipboard very close by just in case there was a misfire.
I definately know what Karthik wants for Christmas.
I think that 1535 t-shirt will be on top of the press box for all eternity.

yea it was this weekend at GTR. I thought it was a leaf blower until he shot a t-shirt out of it, it was lodged in the ceiling above where 1114 was sitting, his aim improved over the weekend. =D
Haha the crowd went wild when he shot it
Haha yes, Karthik was so jacked when he got to shoot this. This is Team 1535's gun and we will be bringing it to Atlanta! See everybody there!
i heard that thing is loaded with air using a compressor? LOL

ya we loaded it with about 40 psi! the one that went over the press box was 50 psi though!! Karthik wanted more pressure :P he got it
Haha yes, Karthik was so jacked when he got to shoot this. This is Team 1535's gun and we will be bringing it to Atlanta! See everybody there!
I'm looking forward to seeing it in action! That is one sweet looking gun. The look on his face has me a tad worried though....

how did you make it? looks like a water sprinkler valve, but how was it triggered?

there is a hole in the top of the valve, and that is connected to an air nozzle like you would find on a shop air hose, and when you squeeze the trigger it lets a tiny amount of air out, creating low pressure on one side of the rubber seal, which makes the seal get pulled up, therefore letting all the air into the barrel.
does that answer your question?? if not let me know and i can tell you whatever you want to know
It looks like Karthik is singing while he is shooting.
Either is lethal at 15 yards. :)

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!Is that what the cannon was saying?
When he fired it, did the recoil shoot him across the crater :yikes:
This seriously puts me in the mind of the buffalo wild wings commercials. Just remember to shoot all the people you want, but please don't hit the bots.
Karthik CANNONgasabapathy?
haha. This thread has so much win.
I saw this picture on facebook earlier and laughed uncontrollably :P
My favorite was when he got it on top of the VIP box!

I love how that T-Shirt will probably be there until they tear the place down.

Forget 1114 and 188, I think we found the best shooter this year.
Haha we were so glad they let us fire the cannon at GTR, when we were at the Wisconsin regional nothing was allowed to be thrown in the stands let alone fired out of a cannon at 40 psi! When we come to Atlanta we might bring our bigger three barrel cannons as well as the single fire cannon since the venue will be huge!

I hear that good old Queen Elizabeth escaped Karthik's wrath.....this year. ;)
...anyone who's ever been to the Hershey Centre knows what I am talking aboot. :P
haha. This thread has so much win.

Karthik told me his mom was in there. I hope he didn't get sent to his room for firing at her.

Yeah, I know 269 built a tshirt cannon last year and was firing it on Friday morning at Wisconsin but was told to get rid of it later. The reasoning was for the PVC air storage and how its not really pressure rated.
This may have been part of the issue. It sounds like they've totally banned all tshirt shooters now. Bummer. Between that and the free healthcare, I'm about ready to jump ship America!

Yeah but using all those "our"s in all your sentences will drive you right back.:D

Now this picture has better comedy potential!

Karthik told me his mom was in there. I hope he didn't get sent to his room for firing at her.
Haha, my mother was seated just underneath the VIP boxes, but still within the firing path. She was less than impressed.

woops :P sorry about that karthik, i guess 50 psi was a little too much. i am sure it will do just fine for Georgia :)
you will notice us in atlanta, the tshirt gun is now painted yellow and black and has a bright orange end, for safety of course!
Haha, my mother was seated just underneath the VIP boxes, but still within the firing path. She was less than impressed.
Next time you (try to) give your mom a T-shirt, just hand it to her!
(Oh, and I think Dave underestimated the lethal ranges by an order of magnitude or so. Not to mention the fourth dimension.)
Possible Caption:
Karthik: IMA FIRIN MY T-SHIRTZ!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(Shoop Da Whoop reference :D)

Easy, I heard a rumor Karthik is up to 12 pounds ... soaking wet.
