Re: 5010 T-Shirt Launcher Prototype

Looks great!

Celt-X built a wheeled and a pneumatic t-shirt shooter this summer (https://twitter.com/celtxrobotics/st...24864/photo/1). pneumatic shooter has a range about the same as yours at 100 psi, and the wheeled one shoots about half as far.

*but*

the pneumatic cannon only use a 5 gallon, 100psi air tank, so we have to turn it down to less than 50 psi to keep enough pressure to shoot all four barrels, which reduces the range considerably (https://twitter.com/celtxrobotics/st...38240/video/1). A scuba tank or carbon dioxide cylinder would work better of course. Where do you go to refill yours? How much does it cost? How many shots do you get from a full tank?
