Re: Ways of using compressed air to shoot the ball

Since I don't have the rules handy, probably not, but as I stated the rules would have to be tweaked in order to allow something like this. To generate the amount of volume needed to shoot a ball of this size would be huge. You would have to add a lot of the clippard air tanks to your robot. Additionally, the legal compressor specs for most years, makes multiple shots unrealistic because the spec doesn't allow for very high CFM leading to slow fill times.
