Re: 2073 Pneumatic Catapult

Sorry it took so long, but I finally had a chance to test out the collectors on our shooter. I made two videos. The first one had the collectors in line:

The second one has the collectors removed:

Both videos were take with the front of the robot 9 feet away from the goal.

It looks like the shoot just gets higher. What that means for this shooter is that the arm is traveling though its arc faster. Is it something we are going to pursue? We aren't' sure yet. We like our shot the way it is without.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
