Re: Linear Shooters - How did you do it?

We have a different approach. We are using two 2" Cylinders to put force into compressing a set of springs. We then latch the springs and retract the cylinders to prevent them from dampening the spring force. Lastly, we release the latch and use the spring energy to fire the ball.
