Set-up Instructions: 

  1. Be sure that the device is level (use a level if necessary).
  2. Do NOT cock the shot ball until the device is in place and facing the correct direction.
  3. NEVER point the device toward the audience or the entrance to the lecture hall.  Always aim toward the wall with the doors to the set-up area.
  4. Be sure the shot ball will not cause damage to breakable objects.  For reference, launch speed was experimentally estimated to be 5.4-5.5 m/s (~12 mph.)
