Re: pic: 2052's Tshirt cannon (and a knight)

It shoots really well. We actually shot a few shirts over the stands (at about 70-80 psi).

We haven't run the mechanums on concrete. It's on a rubber track surrounding the astroturf field. We may however be switching to KOP wheels, just to prevent normal wear and tear from eating our mechanum wheels. There really isn't a huge advantage to having them anyways.

As for funding, that really isn't necessary. We currently have no sponsors (working on it...). The sheet metal for the knight was sheet metal someone didn't want and was giving away. The cannon part was the most expensive, but still cost less than $100.
