Re: Team 540 Launch Teaser

This was taken around 9PM so it was dark outside, and the video was taken based off of illumination from car headlights.
When we added "brightness" and contrast to the video (the ball was showing up badly), the sparks increased dramatically. In reality, it was a very small spark, which won't be there for the real robot. We have a new release mechanism that will be much more reliable.
The gripper and rest of the arm are not shown, just the launcher and test rig.
