Bouncer, I think, is hard for everyone. If you can get a distance of over 100 cm them that may be enough to win Nats. (That's my prediction.)

100cm won't win you nats. Some amazing person got 4 meters, which is 400cm.

Whooo dang 
Well, 400 cm might be the 1st place, but what about 2nd place? Do you think there will be a big margin?

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
Yes, I think that that will be a outlier, then might be around 150cm. Thats my guess.

Re: Junkyard Challenge B
As a teammate of his (And a participant in the event), I can reassure everyone that his aforementioned distance was a typo. We have not gotten the bouncer to launch further than a meter.skillfullparrot7 wrote:The only question: Is it accurate?Littleboy wrote:Yes they are
