Re: FRC488 Pneumatic Catapult

My team is also using a catapult type of launching system. It works pretty efficiently. Balls are gathered from below and then when a second ball is loaded it pushes the other ball into firing position and then compressed air launches a piston which moves at such a good speed and finesse that the final angle achieved causes the ball to perfectly make it into the goal with ease. That's how I see it, but it's not exactly like that. We are still tuning up the shooter and adding final adjustments. Will be testing tomorrow. Hopefully I can post a video or pic soon.
