One question for you: where did you get the black springs powering the shooter?

Thanks! I believe they're giant torsion springs from a snowblower or something. We found a few in our closet from a long time ago and then found a store somewhere in Troy that happened to have these springs in them. They were not particularly easy to find.

We call it a sweet spot shooter. It has one set shot (pulling the winch all the way back), and it can hit in a large area. The idea is since the goals are very large, a long and flat shot with the shot apex just barely making it in creates a very large area where you can shoot from.

Thanks! TVR is going to be a wild competition.
Something we tried at the practice field this past weekend with the practice bot!:
We're totally ready for Overdrive!
