You guys (MORT 11) are going to the champoinship. Feel free to come by the pits of team rush 27 and ask any of our members how the catapult works. A brief description is that we use an andymark gearbox as our winch and we pull back our catapult arm which has 400 lbs of surgical force. This force is distributed to 8 cartridges of 50 lbs each. more detail on motors, sensors and such can be provided in our pits.

As i said, feel free to come and ask any member. We are trying to get everymember involved in answering questions for people too.
