Re: Hybrid Kicker

We've been playing with a similar kicker but we can't seem to get our piston to fire as quickly as yours does.

If I'm understanding your mechanism correctly, the retracts the kicker to the locking mechanism and then to shoot the piston is "Fired" and then allowed to charge before the locking mechanism is released? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but it's something we've been struggling with...
