Thanks in advance

At the moment the shooter is not using pneumatics at all. That plunger that you see is going to be powered by really thick surgical tubing. Out prototype of it as well as many other teams work really well. A piston in place of the surgical tube to power the shooter has not worked well for anybody as far as I know. The piston just does not have enough acceleration combined with force behind it to push the ball out and into the high goal very well.
