We had a lot of people comment that they couldn't believe we could shoot with a fully electric catapult. We did a fair amount of simulation to optimize the gear ratio to maximize energy delivered to the ball. A lot of teams don't do this and as a result don't get the most energy out of their device..

Can you provide a little more information:
1) About your command profile adjustments
2) What your simulation revealed about getting the most energy out of your device (speed?).
