Who still thinks pneumatic catapults won't work for this game?

A wrench isn't a nesscary part is it? Last Night, we tested the robot and a large, (yes I said LARGE) wrench fell from somewhere on the robot....Along with bolts, nuts, and a very interestingly cut piece of Aluminum... - Will Bale [more]

Re: Who still thinks pneumatic catapults won't work for this game?

We built a pneumatic catapult. Nothing fancy, just two somewhat largeish cylinders (lot smaller than one behemoth I've seen), two double solenoids, and a swiss-cheesed bar of c-channel. We were finalists at Traverse City.

Pneumatic catapults WORK.

*The losses in finals were probably because of our drive chain literally falling off.

Edit: after reading the following comments - we don't need no stinking pulsing.
