Re: Pitching Style Or Catapult???

Hmm, I would like to ask how much does a guiding mechanism (aka, barrel or something similar) help the aim of your robot? When we were practicing with our prototype, we determined that such a guide would slow down our muzzle velocity and the precision of the mechanism did not change to any significant degree. So, we did not include any barrel into our final design as was originally planned. So how was your team's experience with aiming mechanisms?
