842's Kicker

[nixiebunny1]

That looks like a good approach. However, the kicker bar needs to be higher. You want the ball to loft just a tiny bit - a 15 degree ball angle is decent. That requires the kicker to be an inch or two below the ball center.

Surgical Tubing is the bestt stuff ever. You might have problems with reloading the piston though, that's a lot of air and a lot of battery power. But it looks like it's more accurate than the Method 2. Good luck!

Thanks a lot, our prototypes weren't working well. Hopefully, this will give us some ideas.

my vote second method

[372752]

i like both of the methods te second one looks like it needs a lil debuging and the first one a lilttle barbaric lol jk a good idea would be getting a good surface area and weigh behind the kicker beacuse the more weigh the more torque the more power the further it goes and did you let your hair grow john
