THE RECOIL
TO GET SOME CO2 POWERED RECOIL ACTION WE HAD TO MODIFY THE CO2 MAGAZINE TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRIGGER WIRING. WE REMOVED THE BB SPRING AND FEED MECHANISM WHICH ALLOWS THE WIRING TO FIT EASILY IN THE EMPTY CHANNEL.

WITH THE CO2 MAGAZINE FITTED TO THE GUN, WE ATTEMPTED TO USE THE GUN WITH RECOIL IN VR. THE RESULTS WERE NOT GOOD.
THE RECOIL ACTION INTERFERES WITH THE TRACKING OF BOTH THE VIVE CONTROLLER AND THE VIVE TRACKER. OUR GUESS IS THAT THE RECOIL IMPACT IS RAILING THE IMU. WE'VE CHANGED RECOIL SPRINGS AND ADDED A SHOCK BUFFER TO TRY AND SOFTEN THE IMPACT BUT IT DOES'NT HELP. THERE'S PROBABLY NOT A WHOLE LOT ELSE WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ABOUT THIS. RECOIL WAS DESIRED BUT NOT REQUIRED, SO FOR NOW WE WILL DO WITHOUT IT

RECOIL RETRY
WE TALKED TO SOME SMART PEOPLE ABOUT THE RECOIL ISSUE.
THEY GAVE US THE LIKELY CAUSE AND A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS TO TEST FOR AND COMBAT THE ISSUE.

FOAM BLOCK ISOLATION TEST
TESTING ISOLATION THEORY WITH A FOAM BLOCK HAS PROMISING RESULTS! THANKS SCOTT!

SIMPLE RUBBER GASKET ISOLATOR TEST
TESTING ISOLATION OF A NATURAL RUBBER GASKET. WE LASERED THE GASKET FROM ONE MM RUBBER SHEET WE HAD. THE MOUNT SCREW ALSO HAS A RUBBER WASHER.
WE'RE STILL DIRECT CONNECT TO THE MOUNT VIA ALIGNMENT AND POGO PINS, SO WE DON'T EXPECT THIS TO HELP MUCH... WE JUST LIKE TO LASER STUFF..

AS EXPECTED, THIS RESULTS ARE SIMILAR TO NO GASKET. IT DOES APPEAR TO HELP SLIGHTLY THOUGH. HUGE DISPLACMENTS ARE LESS FREQUENT AND RECOVERY TIMES SEEM SHORTER.
8mm RUBBER ISOLATOR TEST
THIS IS OUR FIRST ATTEMPT AT A FULLY ISOLATED PLATFORM. THE TRACKER MOUNT PLATE RIDES ON FOUR 8mm RUBBER ISOLATORS
