Re: Video of Kicker Prototypes

Nice!

About the first method-
Is the piston fixed to a point on the lever?
If I'm understanding this correctly you're not actually actuating the piston with the valve, but rather using the lever to compress it mechanically. So in effect, it's like a spring (correct?). Our team has been trying out designs including one with a spring-loaded shooter, but we don't yet have a simple reloading mechanism for it (which I see as the main drawback of such a design)..
Hm.
