Re: Firing System

I'm with the others here--you got less than 2 weeks left, and you're looking to start building a launcher? IIRC, the Torbots got theirs up and running--at the end of Week 2 or so! (This did include several prototypes, but still...)


At this point, I would suggest building a catcher instead, with a method to quickly pass the ball off to a partner (and a quick intake if it isn't already included). Missed shots could be killer if they aren't caught and passed VERY quickly, and assists can make a huge difference.
