I noticed that your cylinders extend all the way when you fire your catapult. How's your bot looking on a "recharge" time? Our team discovered early on that air consumption would be a bit of a problem with this type of pneumatic catapult design, so I'm wondering to see how your team's handling that.

Again, very nice robot. Hopefully, we'll be crossing paths in Atlanta this year!
Thanks, but it would never had been possible without your preload advice! We have 3-4 inches of preload and it made all the difference. As for air, we can shoot as long as we are 60+ psi (duh ) and it takes about 20 seconds for a charge from 60 back to 120 psi. I'd love to play with you guys in Atlanta [fingers crossed].Thanks again 1726!
