Re: non-pneumatic "kicking" mechanism

So far we've been looking at a sort of slide hammer design that relies on the surgical tubing. Initial calculations are very promising, but this thing will certainly need finger guards! The thought was to make a device with only a 12" stroke, but it would require 300 lbs of spring force!

Some revisions are in order.
