Re: paper: 2014 HOT Tech Notes

Love the design (and the pneumatics), but why only 50 pounds on the springs? Our design uses the same spring style, but 160 pounds which gives us a larger range and a flatter trajectory. Pretty much the same displacement as well. Also, how are your bearings set up? We tested with 80 pounds of springs and had no where near 15 ft of range.
