My latest avenue of lego research is lego firing. I am trying to make a
contraption using only lego peices that will fire a small projectile (eg a
black friction peg) as far as possible. At first I tried to use springs, but
the results were very disapointing. I am having the most success now with two
8448 tyres in a 'tennis ball launcher' design, being powered by direct
friction with a large wheel hub on an old 9v motor. I can get a couple of
meters range from about 1/2 a meter high. How can you do?
