Re: Team 1592 Final Kicker design

Is it timed correctly? I counted 5 shots in the 10 second video.

If your kicker is not retracting almost instantaneously, you will be extending again in less than 2 seconds. I'm sure it won't be a big problem to slow the cycle time down to 2.5 or 3 seconds. Is there a way to fire it at will, rather than regularly and continuously?

If your kicker doesn't go beyond the FRAME PERIMETER at all, please disregard the concerns in this post.
