this still means that you can use a trebuchet because it follows through after the release of the ball. something i really wanted to do but my team wouldn't let me because i couldn't think of a way to reload it properly without direct human contact, let alone fast enough to be usable during comp. this however doesn't mean that 1155 might not bring a fun toy to launch poof balls with in the courtyard at riverbank state park and hopefully nats.(that is if i can build it after ship in time for NYC)
