Talking Re: Catapult?

Check our catapult-like device out in prototype: http://marsbot.org/files/arm_demo.zip

We finally got our hardened shaft and everything is coming together now. I will try to post a video of it throwing tommorow (assuming it can do that yet )...

The good thing about this was that our robot did not shoot at different velocities because of the change in our battery level.
Boy was that impressive!! I remember that one.
