Re: More destructive air tank testing from 95

Thanks Andrew!

We shot everything on my GoPro, 720P @ 60FPS. Can yours do better? It might not take a whole lot more resolution to capture some of the really interesting behavior.

Do you have any thoughts on what a more realistic test would be?

FWIW: the pellet gun uses around 5% of the kinetic energy (0.002lb@1000ft/s) of a 140lb robot @ 16ft/s, so there is plenty more energy available from robot-robot interaction than what we used to initiate failure.
