Re: pic: Robonaut Machine Gun

Those look to be coming out a bit hot (12 meters per second is the maximum speed). Have you been able to measure them? The easiest way is to fire the gun at 30 degrees and see how far it goes... it should be around 35 feet.

How far away is the robot from to goal in that picture? You can use the video to get speed if you know that...

That is absolutely scary.
We better raise the bar on our shooter.

Re: pic: Robonaut Machine Gun

Ok, can you change the angle in the middle of the game or can it only be set at one angle? Also how many balls were being shot and do you know the accuracy to that thing?

That's probably their loading mechanism. I noticed there's a hopper on the back, so that's where the balls go in order to get to the launcher.

PS - Can we get a video?
