Re: pic: Team 56 Trackball Launcher Test
It looks like its a pneumatic piston pushing the ball, I have to wonder how the plan on shooting more than once... (Pushing a ball with a piston like that is hard, and takes a lot of air)

I agree that there is no way that overpass is at 6'6". Also, (we ran into this) I wonder if the ball was in a "realistic" position, that is, if it was on the robot would it intersect whatever is getting the ball getting up that high.
