Re: chronograph
Your best bet would be to locate a local paintball shop. At the very least, you could bring your robot to their location, and use their chrono to measure ball speed (in feet per second). One of my friends happens to be a referee for paintball, so we're actually going to bring one of their chronos to the match. The chronos are highly accurate (seeing 1cm diameter balls at 180fps is no easy task), and work from a good distance, too. We're bringing him with us to stand on the sidelines and track opponent ball speed... so that we can notify the referees of any violations that we notice (not that it'll have any official bearing, but they may take the robot to the side to do tests, and tell the team to throttle it back).
