Re: Kicking System Design Considerations
We had a mechanism last night going with pnuematics that was kicking the ball just fine over a bump. Not enough for the field, but a bump just fine. Going to try tonight to see if we can make it kick any further, but at least gettting the ball from zone to zone or pushing a ball into a goal should not be a problem. Im sure some teams will be launching it the length of the field with pnuematics. (remember levers are your friend)
