Perhaps I should qualify my previous statement by saying that the ball was launched off of our ramp and
landed 4' away. Such a design could be used to hoist the ball up the desired height and then shoot it over the overpass. But shooting from the ground... Well... With pneumatics I'm gonna say thats imposible
If you look closer, you'll see I did those photos over a period of years... and they were only done with one program... but yeah, a little free time with no where to direct it and I can become, um, creative... - MissInformation [more]
