This is a very cool robot. It doesn't look like a launcher... it looks like a lifter driving backwards. Then whammo! The ball is flying through the air.
Can't wait for the video to be posted.

What happened to that tiny robot you had early in the build season?
This one looks great though.

Nice idea about the alternative flows for phnematics, our team was going to try that, but our launcher failed miserably... any way, hope you do well and I wish you luck with those pots, I don't like them.
