1024 is perfecting the design for our linear pneumatic launcher. So far, our launcher (which currently resides on a 2x4 wooden frame) can put the ball, repeatably, on the overpass, but not launch it over. So, after when tune the launcher up some more and put it on it's mount (which is about 3' off the ground higher than it is now) it should work fine. It's flight path apexes three feet ahead of the robot.

FYI I used a little calculus to figure out a way to calculate trajectories. If you know how far down range and how far up you want the apex of the ball will be, my equations will tell you how fast and at what angle you have to shoot the ball. If you all are interested, I'll post a scan of my piece of notebook paper.
