What he's saying is when you deploy your kicker and it exits the frame perimeter it is spinning quite fast. And while spinning repeatedly enters and exits the frame perimeter much much faster than 2 seconds in 2 seconds out

But when it slides out, don't the paddles of your spinner, individually, exit and return to the frame perimeter multiple times? The second paddle cannot break the plane of the frame perimeter until 2 seconds after the first paddle returns. I doubt if your spinner is only going at 15 rpm.

The paddles never leave the frame perimeter. Even with the pneumatics extended. It just reaches just to the edge of the frame and doesn't ever leave it.

It was my mistake saying it ever went outside the frame because it doesn't ever go outside the frame perimeter

The current version of this beast has been toned down a bit from this, as it doesn't come into as much contact with the ball when the memory foam front is in use. However, it has been clocked with up to 15 feet of air!

If this is the case... and your paddles never go outside the frame perimeter please excuse my comments... they are not applicable within the frame perimeter...

Good luck
It looks like you guys will do really well!!
