Kicker Help?

[dtengineering]

If you watch the videos that some teams have posted, you'll see kickers that can really put some energy into the ball, up to, and including, knocking clocks off the wall.

We've gone a different route, limiting the height of our kicks so that we just barely clear the first bump, bounce, and then clear the second bump and roll into the goal. The idea is that if we can do that... and never kick the ball higher than the top of the goal, that we can possibly get away without having to adjust kick strength.

We also don't want to kick the ball too high, as a low trajectory reduces the chances of accidentaly kicking the ball over the wall and drawing a penalty.

So don't feel that you need to have the most powerful kicking system going. That's cool... but probably not necessary.
