Re: 1726 Prototype Testing
Different configurations are likely to work, too. We've prototyped one arm of our two armed launcher and achieved heights of about 5' at a 45 degree angle using just two 1.5x8" cylinders and one clippard tank of air at 60 psi. We are building the second arm (two more cylinders, one more tank) and expecting to clear about 8' with both working together. We'll post some video when we get that happening.
As for picking up the ball... just try smashing it into the wall. If your front end is low the ball shoots up, and you drive right underneath it as it falls back down.
Not particularly elegant, and not much good in the open field, but I'm not quite sure how anyone is going to get a ball to sit still on the open field for them to grab anyways. Mind you, I may be wrong about that... I haven't played this game before, you see...
