We were going to go with the same sling-shot idea, but were waiting for our FTC kit.
So much for my idea of having a mini-bot shot up the pole, hit the sensor, and then deploy a parachute.

It would be neat if we were give a chance to test all these idea's we first had, we could give them a try on the Thursday practice day.

Why couldn't you test it? As long as you don't use it on the real field/competition, practice away!

Just be prepared to have about 20 teams come up to you and say "Hey, you know that isn't legal right?"

We had a stored energy idea, but we waited on our prototype because we knew they would soon be banned in a team update. We were going to use compressed air, though, which was a vastly inferior idea.

Major props for the shuttle, though. I lol'ed.

All I have to say is that is epic!

Could we possibly see designs just for the heck of it?
