this is amazing. sad to see you got such a bad rap on hackaday - they seem to think it's really dangerous because of pressure and the general idea that something's bound to go wrong. but i think it's great as long as you built it well, which you definitely seem to have done. however, there was one c...

pneumaticcannons.... that was... wow.

I'm not sure that we'll be able to pull that off.

sorry that the numbers were "noobish." I think I should've made the objective of our project more clear. we just want to improve the basic cannon without raising the price all that much.

a hybrid would be interesting.... I've thought before about making something that compresses air and explosive gas before to get a ridiculous explosion, but it always seemed like it would be too difficult for my skill set. actually, I already have somewhat of a design in mind, it's just ironing out ...

oh, and the numbers can't be changed after the survey is started, which kinda sucks. oh well, I guess I'll just try to make it work.

and we were kind of determined to make a combustion cannon, by the way. we like the bang (and also the challenge it provides).

bleh... I dislike interrogation....

I guess I'll just suck it up and tell you that I go to [redacted three years after the fact]. and if you're still wondering, I'm in the [samesies] class at [you guessed it]. it's the fourth and last class of the [ayyyyyy redacted].

sorry, but I think you misunderstood me. I meant that if we can't do it for a price that people are willing to spend, then we haven't accomplished anything. anyone can design a potato cannon that's really nice but really expensive.

basically this survey is just to establish some design constraints. for example, if we can make a potato cannon that can auto refuel and breech load, but costs more to make than anyone's willing to spend, we haven't really accomplished our goal.

spudgunner survey (help me out, guys!)

Hi, I'm new to the forums. in fact, I kinda just joined for this purpose. however, I'll probably need to ask a lot of questions later, so you'll probably see me around. anyway, I'm here because I'm in an engineering class at my high school. we need to do some market research, and as our capstone pro...
