Team 3357 slow motion kicker

That's cool! Great to see the deformation in the ball and then watch it spring back.

I'm pretty impressed with the amount of "kick" you're getting from just one 3/4" cylinder.

Have you thought about how you're going to posess the ball prior to kicking it? We've found a sticky 2" diameter cylinder running off two FP's geared down 25:1 actually works pretty good a putting backspin on the ball... but we've had to design our kicking arm in a U shape so we could put the cylinder in the middle of the "U".

P.S. What camera were you using?
