Re: FRC488 Kicker Videos

I update the links -- there should be two unique videos there now.

Two CIMs are almost certainly overkill in this case, but we wanted to be sure we had the power we needed to load and kick very rapidly. Our drive uses just 2 CIMs, as has been our tradition for a number of years.

The release mechanism was not hooked up to the control system, but to a simple switch box we have for testing mechanisms. There's sometimes a bit of confusion about who's controlling what and which button makes things move in which direction.
