Re: pic: Wheeled shirt launcher

I'm not sure how well wheels would interact with the shirts. One would have to make sure that the shirt doesn't get torn up or unroll while shooting.
What if you used a can of some sort to hold the t-shirt in while going through the wheels, but gets hardstopped before it can leave the cannon? That way the t-shirt gets acceleration but the shirts are not damaged.
Love the use of 2 stages btw, that seems like it would be useful to get longer distances.
