Wow, certainly looks like you made it over the bump.

It looks to me as though we have a winner folks.

Was that just pneumatics?

Please knock over the tower with one of your high speed shots, event if you get red carded for field damage I think you could win the match just for the cool points they would award :D

I think I saw tension from rubber or something... with pneumatics to pull it back?

The video did not show energy storage phase. I presume manual method. The energy was stored in three (?) black rubber elastic straps on each side of the frame. No detail shows limit to kicker extension to the bumper outside dimension. Not certain either if the ball was more than 3" inside the frame. I think they were just killing time.

If you guys dial it down a bit you actually might be able to keep it in the arena.
YEESH!

Hahahahaha, nice.

You guys might be able to score across the field with that, provided you can aim it precisely (and the school lets you keep it that powerful).

this is quite similar to what we are doing though our kicker is like a little foot xDDD

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
 
So I know it has been asked, but how are you getting that power? Are you using pneumatics, elasticity, or both?

I want to see how that works.

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
 
those slow motion videos didn't do good for me. I just saw the kicker start, and then I saw it in basically it's finished position. It might be my computer, but I think it was the video.

Fredi,
I was mislead by the title of this thread. You should change kicker to launcher. Another clock gives it's life to advance understanding.
