I think we are in the running for hardest shot. We broke the chains in the goal in one of our matches.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

Our flywheels are capable of shooting over the High Goals from the outer works if we're at 100%....
I wonder if it can go through the curtain separating the Pits and the Field.....

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

Wa have made a half court shot easily on a basketball court. Ours can shoot the full length of the field. It's the fastes I have seen in pnw. But I don't think it is quite as fast as some of the ones mentioned above. But then again we also don't shoot it at full power during a match.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

It's interesting to see how FIRST has changed in their approach to this over the years. 10 Years ago some of the scary fast shooters we see would not be legal.

I have to say 5817 Uni-Rex has an absolute laser HG/LG shot from anywhere..their only flaw was they tended to break down other than that it was awesome to behold.

They shoot so hard you can here the chains scream in mercy..very accurate when on...scary good rookie team withe swerve. Congrats on earning way into WC.

Pretty sure some of the best bots in the world were in CV (world high score set there) ... 5817 is right up there when not broken.

You know they are just called boulders they aren't actual boulders right?

We are using 2 vex 775s on a dual to one, with what I believe is a 15:1 versaplanetary. It will take about 4-7 seconds after firing to get it fully compressed

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

I think we forgot that when we were designing :yikes:

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

We too have a very powerful shooter. In testing at the build site it sounded like a jet engine and could be heard from the very back of the stands at Orlando. Our robot was called the "buzz saw" by the game announcer.

We didn't get to use it much due to copious mechanical problems, but when it did work those balls flew into that high goal at supersonic speed.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

Based on watching about 130 matches in person, I'm not entirely convinced that harder is better when shooting at the high goal.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

Well at least you have too much instead of too little, if you had too little power you would need to add MORE...

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

They were pretty crazy. Probably a 75-100 ft shot outside of the field when they missed.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

Team 3453 is using 775pro's with 2 inch stealth wheels.

Re: Hardest Shooting Robots
 

5817's "bench grinder" is absolutely the hardest shooter I have ever personally witnessed on an FRC robot...ever.

My response to this whole thread is... WHY?
