Re: FRC1899 Shooter Prototype
3167 was testing a catapult design, but we decided to go with the pitching machine style shooter for 2 reasons: recovery time and space constraints. The way we saw it, there were too many thing that could go wrong with a catapult (ball misses when loaded; it doesn't get pulled back enough, if at all; etc).

But this design seems very nice and consistent. I like it a lot! Keep up the good work!
