The reason my team is going for a launcher is that we could steal boxes from our opponents and get them in our scoring zone in a matter of seconds and not have to worry about what"s happening on the ramp. We"re planning on using a catapult with surgical tubing to hold the energy and using motors to tension the tubing. The rest of my team are newbies, and my engineer was skeptical of the stregth of the tubing, so I gave him a bit of a demonstration. Myself and one of my friends held two pieces of surgical tubing tight and another person pushed a crate into them. We launched to box straight up, which broke a cieling tile and bent the metal framework that holds them up.
He will never again question the power of surgical tubing.
