So I was on the science team in high school, and one of the events we had is called Trajectory. You had to compete against all these other schools in trying to launch a tennis ball to hit a target in the precise location. On the day of the competition, everyone was raving about one of the other high school's wooden contraption. it could launch a tennis ball with a push of a button and flew nice, slow, and smoothly to the target. We brought out our modest contraption, which was made out of PVC piping and a electric generator. On our first practice run, we ratcheted up the pressure to 350 psi and fired the tennis ball straight at the target. The target, which was a flimsy bullseye in the middle of a plastic ring, was completely obliterated. The other teams didn't stand a chance.
