Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
It looks to me as though we have a winner folks.
Was that just pneumatics?

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
Please knock over the tower with one of your high speed shots, event if you get red carded for field damage I think you could win the match just for the cool points they would award

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
I think I saw tension from rubber or something... with pneumatics to pull it back?

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
The video did not show energy storage phase. I presume manual method. The energy was stored in three (?) black rubber elastic straps on each side of the frame. No detail shows limit to kicker extension to the bumper outside dimension. Not certain either if the ball was more than 3" inside the frame. I think they were just killing time.

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
You guys might be able to score across the field with that, provided you can aim it precisely (and the school lets you keep it that powerful).

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
So I know it has been asked, but how are you getting that power? Are you using pneumatics, elasticity, or both?

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
those slow motion videos didn't do good for me. I just saw the kicker start, and then I saw it in basically it's finished position. It might be my computer, but I think it was the video.

Re: 987 Kicker Destruction
Fredi,
I was mislead by the title of this thread. You should change kicker to launcher. Another clock gives it's life to advance understanding.
