Re: Ball Shooter

I know that last year, the rule on somthing shooting through the air was that it had to be under 10 feet per second. However, no rule regarding that exists currently (though you're not allowed to throw the tetras period). I would ask that under the FIRST Q&A. Something to consider however is that a ref could disregard FIRST's rulling, deeming your device a safety hazard. (He would be well within his rights to do so). I would not design a robot that depends on functioning in the gray areas.
