Re: What are you using to Latch A Kicking Device

We don't have it assembled yet, but our plan is to use a gate latch.

The latch part itself is attached to the back side of the kicker (length of chassis frame), cylinder extends, hooks itself into the latch, pulls back. When it gets to a certain point, there will be some obstruction tripping the latch, firing the kicker.
