Re: Linear Shooters - How did you do it?

For the sixth time...


Simbotics does not use pnuematics to shoot the ball. They tension it using surgical tubing and wind it back with a motor. The only pnuematic shooter I saw was 1024. The lifted the ball to about a 5' level before shooting it with what appeared to be 4 3/4" bore pistons.
