Re: Team 23 Week 6 Snapshot

Wow, that shooter is awesome! And I mean that in the way that it inspires awe

Any chance you'd explain how it works to propel the ball? I'm fascinated. I promise my team won't scramble to copy your design in the last week of build season

Re: Team 23 Week 6 Snapshot

Re: Team 23 Week 6 Snapshot

We've got three marine blowers in the back coming into a fitting which increases the pressure while coupling them to the barrel. On the front end, we've got an aluminum ring to counter-balence the heavy fans, as well as an extension which moves with the angle of the barrel to give us extra distance while staying within the 14'' requirement at all times

Re: Team 23 Week 6 Snapshot

Impressive. I did not think I'd see any teams with blower powered cannons!

Kudos to all your team.

Thanks! I'll let the build team know they did a good job, I had nearly nothing to do with this piece of machinery
