 Sometimes students ask me if MIT wants students who are well-rounded. I usually say I don't care as much if you're well-rounded or pointy, what I care about is evaluating the space enclosed by the shape. - Petey [more] |

Re: Who still thinks pneumatic catapults won't work for this game?
We used a pneumatic catapult this year with two 10 in stroke, 1 1/2 in bore pistons, and c-channel with 'speed holes'
 and bent flatstock. We ended up as finalists at Centerline, and got our highest pick in team history, so yeah, I'd say the pneumatic catapult played a part. I would like to thank 842, though, because until my team saw their catapult prototype video, our team had no intent on building a shooter.  |

Team 2137 used their pneumatic catapult to seed #1 after quals at the FiM Great Lakes Bay Region District event. We had a nearly flawless 2 ball auton throughout quals and eliminations.

Oh yeah.....high qualifying score (match Q06) of the Arizona regional was 235, made by 842 and 1726 (4496 did not make it to the field). Both robots have pneumatic catapults.
