Re: pic: Air Cannon

Nice machine!

One thing I've been planning to add to our t-shirt cannon is a rangefinder (either ultrasonic or IR) to the end of the barrel so that if there is an object in the line of fire (and within range of the sensor) the controller will not allow the cannon to shoot.

You've obviously been designing this with safety in mind, so have probably thought of adding something similar already.
