Re: Shooting from opposite side of the field
Have you guys considered the fact that only 4 CIMs are allowed this year? Are you willing to sacrifice 2 CIMs to use for a shooter instead of on the drive? Just from past experience, only using one per gear box (6 wheel here, not mech or omni) will trip the amp breaker. We had to gear it lower to actually move and the max FPS we got was about 8-9 FPS. Is that worth it this year? What motors are a good alternate for the shooter? Fisher Price ones?
