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.
But you've got to see (and hear) it on the field too - it has such a great "WHOOMP!" sound to it. Last year's crashing ramps, this year's shooter - Rush is the team to listen for.
