Team 3015 is proud to present you with this year's Ranger Robotics robot: The Golden Snitch. The catapult was CNC machined by our own students.

Very cool looking robot, the catapult looks awesome, the students did a good job with that. The video is very well done as well.

How are you releasing the catapult?

Thank you very much! We are using a winch purchased from AndyMark and we release it by shifting the gearbox into neutral. This is done by a piston contacting the dog gear on the side. We did have some troubles with the release because it seemed to have a lot of tension from the cord unwinding so quickly.
