Close up Mechanism Adjustments...

Angle Slider

The aftermath of the group trying to use a screw eye in the corrugated cardboard. Clearly it didn't hold.


Catch (view from beneath the base)

Entire assembly (servo attached beneath)


Laser cut plunger on top of the internal firing mechanism
Once again the heat tolerance of the acrylic was lower than expected, and as such the diameter is several millimeters too small. We did not compensate enough for this effect, and as such our laser cut plunger still rotates inside the barrel, making some interesting test firing... video coming soon!
