Re: Video of Kicker Prototypes

Glad to see a working pneumatic prototype. My team has been trying straight up pushing as well as lever arms using pneumatics without compressing them partially and have had no good results yet. They were supposed to try something similar to the first method tonight but seeing as I am not in the same city I don't know the results...

Because of the relatively slow speeds that all the pneumatics extend at I expect to see very few (if any) successful kickers using pneumatics that do not jam a partially compressed cylinder or use surgical tubing as an aid.
