Re: Shifting with servos

Can a servo handle it well? I doubt that the force required is as simple as the force required to move a lightweight dog gear since there are other forces acting on the gear, so I don't know how much resistance to expect. Are there any issues you foresee with using a servo to release a launching mechanism?
I don't have any math on hand to back this up but I will venture to say no. Remember, you might shoot a max of 10 times a match maybe more...might be able to just have storage with off board compressor..of course go by the rules but it shouldn't be ruled out (pneumatics that is)
