Jonathan W. has a spectacular aura about

Cam trigger

Hi Teams,

For a kicker design, we are looking at using a large L bracket attached to a spring posed to pull it clockwise in some manner. A motor driven cam would turn clockwise against the bracket and act as the trigger. The rough CAD (please don't bash the CAD)

Opinions or advice? Have any teams implemented this type of design before? We specifically need input on a safety release method. (i.e. releasing a cocked kicker with our power cut)
