We use 1 direct drive CIM running at 9 volts and we can swish 30 foot shots.

The kids found out that ball compression is key. Make sure you test with the same kind of balls. We found the trajectory varies between the balls we bought and the balls that came in the KOP.

135 deg is a good starting point. Build a hood so you can vary the release point.

Being able to control your motor speed accurately is also key. The kids built a test box that can control a Jag with a pot to control the motor speed less the CRIO. They wired up a multimeter to monitor the voltage sent to the motor to vary the motor speed.
