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

[Johnny]

842's catapult design is unique and very effective. When our team first saw this game, we knew pneumatics was our plan. Since then, we have had nothing but success with our pneumatic catapult, which is amazingly similar to 842's. With this design, we can make just about any shot by pulsing. It helped us win our first ever regional this year in San Diego.

I would like to thank 842 for posting their ideas early in the season. It was nice for our students to see that we weren't the only team thinking this way. Pneumatic catapults are here to dominate this season. I also feel they are a lot safer in the pits then a lot of the other elastic and spring mechanisms I have seen.
