Re: How do we launch this thing? 2014
Jim has posted some really good suggestions here... this is, largely, a solved problem. Many teams found a way to launch balls in 2008 that were similar to these ones, but larger and heavier.

Dig back in the forums and videos and team websites if you weren't around FRC in '08.

And watch the BuildBlitz and Robot In Three Days (and a snowstorm) for ideas.

It isn't a question of how, so much as how to do it most efficiently!

Google: FRC 2008 launcher or maybe FRC Overdrive Launcher and check out the old videos and websites.
