Re: Kicking System Design Considerations

1583's design uses several 1 1/2 inch x 2 inch stroke cylinders and yes they are levered to the kicking plate. We are building a full size prototype now. Don't forget you need some type of ball control mechanism to hold the ball against the kicking plate. We're prototyping one of those now also.
