Thanks for the insight!SPP SciO wrote:Our team has a working apparatus with a kickball, and foam golf ball projectiles. The two biggest challenges were sealing a tube into the kickball, and finding appropriate sized tubing for the launch barrel.
So far, the first challenge was met with some metal coupling hardware, attaching the kickball to a shop vac style hose. The second, check out "furniture grade" PVC. As it turns out, they make plastic tubes in basically any size you can imagine - seek and ye shall find (for very little money, too!)

Re: Air Trajectory B/C
It can be a fun project to do. I made a scoring workbook for our invitational last year, not because I didn't like the ones provided, but because I wanted something to do...windu34 wrote:Template for scoring???

But the ones posted to the national website go through quite some testing to make sure they handle the many different cases well, and so that they work well with the checklists provided.
