Re: Are any teams planning on shooting the ball?

We are also using a vacuum manipulator to control the ball, and Bimba cylinders to shoot. We have found several important things:

Leave the vacuum on to shoot, you get better distance (if your cylinders can overcome the vacuum)

Ball inflation makes a huge difference in ball travel! Soft balls don't shoot very well!
