CRT T-shirt Cannon

Very well done!
We have been using ours at home games and let me say, it has really caught the attention of our school, sponsors and community. Suddenly people are aware of the Robotics team that never really knew anything about us. We are receiving requests to launch a several different team events in the coming months. We had a request from a local dance studio to launch during a performance of "The Nut Cracker" (Long story for another time). The local News Paper is going to be interviewing us for an article. A new sponsor (Schwann Food's) wants us to launch their shirts wrapped around gift certificates at the next two games. All I can say is, we never thought so much attention would come from something so fun!!!!

By the way, I noticed this on your video too, doesn't it make a really cool sound when it fires, a real head turner! You can hear that sound from 80 yards away over the din of the crowd at a fully packed football game!!!
