Re: LIFT VS. LAUNCH

The whole idea of the catapult appealed to our team however the designs that we could come up with where all dangerous and to complicated. However we have developed an idea that launches the ball, More like a ballista. we have tested a scale model and it worked perfectley with little danger to opperatores and other robots. So we think that our design has the capability to launch quickly and very effectivley,
Is there anyone else that is using a ballista/crossbow design? Just curious.
