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

It has been working beautifully. We can get any trajectory we want and have the shot sequences programed to the game controller.
I'd sure be interested in seeing the code for pulsing the solenoids. Any chance of sending me a copy via pm? I'm sure that if I see it I'll slap my head and wonder why we didn't think of that. I think I can count the number of times you guys missed a shot at the AZ regional on two fingers.
Congratulations again on your win. I think that makes four in a row for 842.
