Re: Shooter worked on first high goal test
Nice prototype.
I noticed that you are hand holding your wires. We did this my first year and I as the mentor risked sparks and shocks. Then our electronics mentor build a switch box. He used 6 gauge wires with an industrial switch.

The wire ends have a battery connector on one end (Anderson) and large alligator clips on the other. We added tape to the clips so there are no stray voltage paths. Suggest you build something similar. It makes life way easier to test.
