Go to Post Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. - Billfred [more]

Re: Team 3357 slow motion kicker

One reason this design works quite well is because it mounts to the kicker near the hinge point. This means it can transfer full pneumatic force on the kicker throughout the entire travel arc without the piston having to accelerate much or travel very far, which can reduce the efficiency of energy delivered.
