Re: How will FIRST measure muzzle velocity?

The judge's "weighing" and "size-checking" station is typically located near the pit area. It would be very easy to set-up a 40 foot bullpen firing range in that same space. If your shooting mechanism clears 40', you're way over the maximum muzzle velocity (at a standstill) as in <S02> in section 4.3.1

Now, isn't that easier for the judges than a radar gun? Always think outside the box.....
