Measuring Muzzle Velocity

Our team has found a better way of measuring the muzzle velocity on your robot, and we think that it would be more accurate than the 30 degrees and 35 feet method in the rule book. What we have aquired from a third party source is a method of firing the cannon or what have you straight up and measuring that height. If your ball travels more than 19.5 feet, then your muzzle velocity is too great.

Attached is the sheet that shows these results.
