Re: LIFT VS. LAUNCH

We started out lifting the ball up to the over pass ( our robot will just go under) and shooting it over with a 1.5 pneumatic. Using the garage compressor at 60 psi we were able to throw it 3 ft horizontal and vertical just enough to clear the rack. When we tried it with the robot compressor it would only lift the ball and not throw it. So we are just pushing it up onto the over pass. Most people don’t know this but if you push it over at the spots between the ball locations the pipes are only about 12 inches apart and the ball just rolls off with little effort. So we can push it up and over with out hardly slowing down. Some drawings are at http://www.team1322.org/team_news.htm
