It's hard to pinpoint what exactly caused the system to fail, but it was likely a combination of the hard stop, the amount of force we were bringing the catapult down with, and a human error where we left the shooter clipped to the frame and ran it, putting loads of stress on the entire system. (interestingly, that misfire sheared our gears first). We were using the versaframe profile shooter on our practice bot and it seemed to be holding up fine, but now I'm questioning when that one will fail, if it's not about to already.
