So this is basically a direct drive with 2 CIM motors, the chunkiest of the chunky, and at the maximum distance angle (45 degrees) he is hitting 23 feet. That's far enough to also cause more problems. (note the editing might not have been for just collecting the ball). And it doesn't seem to include the ball after ball wheel slow down either.
We did something similar (not saying exact though, team secret ), and now have balls shooting out about 58-60 feet. No gearing, 100% legal.
