 Since our team is in possession of the school, we have no restrictions on how late we can be there. So our teams are often practicing into the wee hours of the morning. Also, the school board uses "the breeze" for storage of high jump mats, so it's a great place to nap. :) - Karthik [more] |

I don't get it... How does the ball get accelerated?

108
P.S. the estimated acceleration of the ball is 283 ish m/s^2.
time spent in barrel = .064 seconds.
at that rate, it should take only 293 hours, 46 minutes, and 41.17 seconds to reach the speed of light.

Looks great. Nice design.
Is it legal to transport balls from the robot to the center goal 
How would they measure the m/s?
If a ball disappears from the bot and reappears at the goal than there is no velocity. Right?

Figures. While we are all designing shooters, 108 is making a futuristic scifi levitation ray to put balls in the center goal directly from the ground.
