Cool! We are at the same step, except we went thru the prototypes 5 times..

Our structure was built out of the kop frame materials.. *SHIVERS*

We started with one KOP gear box, followed by two, followed by a repositioning, followed by using a drill motor.. THEN finally using the exact same set up as the one in your picture XD, except with 1 wheel.. Then we tried it with two... then...

._.;; hopefully we'll be able to finish our real launcher instead of playing around with those stuff..

We are way behind.. T_T
