Re: What speed is your Boulder launching at

You know those gravitational waves you keep hearing about recently? Those weren't created by colliding black holes, they were created by our boulders colliding with the opposing alliance's tower.

Looking forward to the design where "low bar capable" + "high exit velocity" != "blockable". Is the flattest parabola really the best parabola?

2.1 bench grinders. (Spell correct just tried to change grinders to gingers. Silly spellcheck. Gingers aren't a measure of speed).
I hear Gingers are pretty fast.

2.1 bench grinders.
Ours has to be at approximately 4.6 bench grinders.... we might need to change some gear ratios

Speed of light as an acceptable measure of our boulder's speed
