[Al Skierkiewicz]

Ok Jim,
Using your robot as an example, what happens to the kicker when your tubing is not stretched? Does gravity affect it's position? Is it firmly held outside of the frame perimeter even though the tubing is not stretched? If all systems fail on your robot (a hard hit causes your battery to become dislodged and it breaks off a pneumatic fitting), what happens to the kicker? Same scenario but the kicker was not yet in a position to fire?
