I'm sure it's really interesting, but on my Windows XP system, both Real Player and Quicktime claim the file is either not a valid MPEG 4 file, or is corrupted.

Same problem here. I am using a mac os with Quicktime, Realplayer, and Windows Media.

good job guys

We (1538) had problems with those kinds of wheels as launchers.

Two things:
1. They shred the balls paint off
2. They come apart from their housing very easily

Other than that if you just set the motors on the gearbox FIRST gives you, the set up used our battery in about 5 minutes of trial and error.

Other than that, nice job guys! We always like to see our Team San Diego teams doing well.

Whoa. Were those two totally different movies? I was only able to get the first one working using mplayer, which I've found to be somewhat more robust, but it seems to be cut off just above the launcher, so you can't see it.

The launcher looks cool, though. I look forward to seeing it in person sometime. Good job.

They're the same. The difference is that the first video is cropped and the aspect ratio is off a little.

Why is it that when a ball is dropped from the top it takes 2 or 3 seconds to fire.

I assume gravity feed, but I also would like to know which motors you used.

I'm assuming they are using 2 mini-bike motors.
