Al:

This is our situation as well. Pneumatic shooter, ball sensing interlock (eg shooter doesn't fire if the ball isn't present.) If we need to disable the interlock, we would rather do this in a way that is consistent with the interlock being as fail-safe as possible.

We'll certainly comply, but the ball (between it's weight, as well as it's air resistance) has a significant impact on the loads and speeds that the shooter sees when fired.

So true. There are now two clips that I will forever look at differently. (The other is the image of the Poofs singing "Call Me Maybe" to Karthik - always brings a smile whenever I hear that song being played.)
