Currently under 30" when excess backbone frame is removed (camera exaggerates lengh), and removal of other excess component length will further shorten down to as low as 24" OAL.
If stroke is only 8-10" and ball sits high on robot with much of its size protruding beyond 60" elevation we have about 55+" diagonal lengh inside frame to work with for setting our shot angle.
Too few catapult shooting teams are realizing how easily their shots can be defended and blocked by a basic speedy & maneuverable opposinng bot just sitting right in their face. We plan for our shots to clear any possible defending scheme.
