395 Catapult test

As part of our manipulator and scoring method tests we put together a quick catapult idea. What do you guys think?

WHOOSH.

Re: 395 Catapult test

we've got a catapult and it's working pretty consistently. The only worry might be time constraints

Re: 395 Catapult test

What's powering the catapult? I don't see or hear any pneumatics so I'd have to guess a spring. Impressive though, it takes alot of energy to get the ball at a decent height. Our team built a prototype pneumatic catapult but it fails, launching only a couple of feet forward. We went with something else... But good luck with your design. :)
