Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!

VCU is goin good, thanks for all the compliments on the 435 robodogs bot (im on 435), if any of the earlier comments on excessive muzzle velocity were directed toward us, we are within the legal limit, we were challenged by the referees twice on this matter and our calculations are exactly on, our velocity is exactly on the legal limit. we are just able to shoot repeatly but we are under the speed. to check this the reffs had us shoot a ball with our launcher at 30 deg (they had us prop up our robot on a crate and measure it to a 30 deg. angle.
)and it shot 30 feet but our launcher is fixed at a 60 deg. angle so its way different
