Yeah you should try and do it, it would be cool.

Your right, it would be essentially impossible to automate my lego thing, thats the most annoying thing about it, the long loading times.

A photo switch sounds like a good idea, it could well improve efficiency, and possibly save some capacitor charge too.

I can make a video, but theres not very much to see. On one frame, you can see the valve, quite blurred, half opened, and thats about it :lol: . Something I want to try though is taking a photo/video of it entering water, that will slow it down a lot and hopefully leave a cool looking trail 8) :lol:

Looking at my first photo, i'm now pretty convinced its actually only the ricochet, not the direct shot (ie, they are travelling left to right after hitting the metal plate). I have some cool photos of some fans on at high speed that actually appear off because of the fast shutter (a little computer one ran at 16v, and a big 18" one on full). Also, photos of the rather slower lego crossbow firing :lol:

I also like the macro mode, as per my new avatar:
