I like the use of something interesting like a cannon to demonstrate Taguchi DOE. I also like how you have used variables that don't lend themselves to a metric (valve type for example). However, it also shows the major weakness of Taguchi methods: you spend a lot of time experimenting with phenomena that are well known: projectile motion for example. Do you think it is worth investigating some aspects theoretically (like the basic motion) to reduce experimental effort? If so, then how?
