Need number help buddies

Well, we put it in the bag at 11:58 last night. Needless to say we had to pull guys off of it to put it in the bag. I hope we didn't miss somebody and bag him up too. - jimwick [more]

Re: Need number help buddies

Our last prototype, which was pretty crude and not very efficient, used 135 ft-lbs. to launch the ball 8" vertically. We invested in a 250 ft-lbs. gas spring and are creating a complex lever system to add some extra oomph, but I wouldn't invest much time in attempting to use pneumatics to fire a ball.
