We made a second iteration of our shooter that uses 4'' colsons and no longer rips up boulders. We're running that shooter off 2 775pros. We've noticed a significant and problematic difference between a fairly new boulder and the boulder pictured here, which is now even more torn up than before. I think that this is caused by the torn up boulder losing air faster and not "pushing back" as much on the shooter wheels. I guess catapults have the edge on this problem, although they might have their own problems.
