Re: 10 Balls per second?

On my PC I definately hear some type of machinery running before the balls hit the goal.

If the balls have been fired from ground level they will arc up in flight, then they will be 'falling downward' on the tail of there flight - so I dont see any evidence that proves this video is contrived.

very impressive!

being able to launch ten balls at once means you have more time for everything else

and for dramatic effect you can use the first 3 second of auton mode to get into position, wait 6 more seconds, then fire them all off. The most dramatic shot in basketball is the one that just goes in as the buzzer sounds

in your case, it will be ten going in.

excellent demo. This will definately get some people thinking out of the box! Engineering is like magic sometimes. Once you see someone do something impressive or new, you know there is system behind it, so the challenge then is to figure out how they did it.

BTW: Nobody would take the time to setup an elaborate shooter hoax/con and post it on CD, when they are so busy working on their robot. "Hey instead of working on our robot this morning, lets make a fake launcher video and post it on CD to freak everyone out!" I dont think so!
