Ya know, you don't need compression on the tetrix balls if you create a continuous rotating catapult design... Just from a 4" stroke 1" bore air piston we got 4 feet out with a non-tweaked catapult.

Of course, it's difficult to fit within the dimensions, would be very unreliable while moving, and isn't very safe when compared to other designs.

But it would be fun to see it nonetheless.

An interesting note is that in hybrid bots, the 'dump' portion wouldn't be as effective as a pure dump bot due to the fact that inevitably the shooter has to take up some room.
