MEET THE CANNONS!

Last updated: 7th May 2009

What follows is a technical outline of the workings of our arsenal of dodgeball cannons:

High Spec Mechanical Machines
Capable of firing dodgeballs at speeds of 70km/ph
Able to rotate +/- 30 degrees horizontally (on Y axis) and around -5 / +30 degrees vertically (on the Z axis)
Machines reload automatically and are capable of firing approximately 1 ball per second.
A slide system feeds balls automatically into the machine. Each slide can hold up to 20 balls.
Machines are calibrated (via main Control room computer) to accurately follow the online user's aim (mouse movement).
Calibration will take place everyday.
There will be a server at the pitch that relays and interprets all info between the user's computer and the machine control electronics.
Machine Control Electronics receive commands from the server and repositions the barrel to aim where the user is clicking.
An externally hosted video server relays live video feed of the action to user computers.
