: : I would guess that such a device would be ruled as an entanglement threat and would be ruled illegal.

: That is what we were worried about, however we planned on launching it using the pnematics. The pneumatics would take it out about 10 inches, and then it would come off at the end, so it would not be shotting at random, it would be guided by the pneumatics, but i am still questoining if it would illegal? Could someone please clarify one more time.

: Thanks

Rookie Team 433 here,
Regardless of length, tether, or definition of a projectile, wouldn't ANY object that was launched, shot, or forced out as described need to be done so by an 'Energy releasing' object that would need to be released at a rate that is faster than it was stored? I believe the 'releaseing of energy' must be done so at 'no more than the same rate it was stored', there by violating the rules.?
Probabaly not, thats why Iim a rookie.
Catch Ya
Bob G
