Re: non-pneumatic "kicking" mechanism

Our kicker is going to be a large spinning blade/paddle thing. We will be able to adjust the speed/turn it off at will, allowing us to control the ball how we want to. Our tests give us about 10-15 feet, but we are changing the kicker mechanism now to have a larger paddle and possibly 2 motors.
