Re: Kicker Help?
Our robot and some other teams are using a combination of bungee chords and pneumatic pistons. If you use that and try your best to kick the ball at about 45 degrees you'd be able to clear about twenty feet uniformly. I've also heard of taking the pneumatic pistons and limiting how far the piston can pull back and that actually gives more room for pressure storage, giving the piston some more bang for you buck.
Does that help?
