Digging the drive as usual, and your driver's slalom looks impeccable.

Next to winning, "unexpected" is our favorite accomplishment. We didn't want to do a wheeled shooter - we've done them, we're bored with that, never liked the limitations. We really planned to do a puncher/ plunger, but the catapult prototypes were more convincing. Beater bars and catapults have been good to us.
We have hard stops for different shooting positions and a load cell to measure the force before firing.
The driver better be impeccable. No pressure, Austin...
