Hmm I'm not sure, but he did start the Shout song before the 4th quarter of the ensuing football game. Very awesome.

Just a little information on the T-shirt shooter - Has a 6 wheel drive base with some very hard plastic wheels so we can take it onto pretty much any terrain. We have a fairly large tank filled with CO2 which was connected to a 60 psi regulator. We're looking to upgrade to a regulator so we can up it to 120 psi. In the shot there, the tanks were filled to around 55 psi and we were still getting some decent distance, enough for a homecoming demonstration at least. Some future additions will be to make each shooter independent of one another, allowing each one to change angle individually.

Another great job done by some very dedicated Purdue FIRST members!
