Re: Optimizing Air Cannon Range

i know this thread is about t-shirt cannons, but what else have you tried firing? 1-2 years ago me and a few friends on the team discovered that pencils make great projectiles when stuffed into pvc pipe. were able to get them to fly at least 100ft. although this is always fun, its bit dangerous, and we tend to do it when we should be working on the robot.
