The bumpers - is that one unit that is replaced? I can't imagine a red skirt on that keeping tight.

We have 2 full sets of bumpers. One red, one blue. The bumper is removed all at once. Similar to bumpers we used at Championship in 2014. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/40712

Interesting concept, can you talk to the configuration of your pneumatics system, air tank placement, solenoid selection. It appears to be two 3/4" cylinders by 8" Stroke, are they double acting or spring return and what stroke? Any video of the shooter itself? Thanks.

The Boulder shooter is a simple pneumatic linear punch. A single 3/4" bore 11in stroke double acting cylinder punches the Boulder. It has a white fiberglass rod (a driveway reflector rod) mounted underneath with 3D printed guides that acts as a additional linear guide to help keep the puncher in perfect alignment.

I don't have video of it, but tune in to Palmetto to see it in action.

Beautiful machine! Elegant and simple and I can't wait to watch Palmetto this weekend. It seems like every team this year is building something awesome!
