Re: Side vs. Top Shooter

@farmersvilleRob: Have you been involved with FRC in the past?

You've made some pretty wild suggestions that are not only flying in the face of what some long-standing, well-respected FRC mentors have said based on math, but flying in the face of things they've DONE, as in, actually built, and witnessed in operation.

I personally watched a prototype shooter on Saturday shoot the 2012 game piece approximately 30ft. It was a very crude setup, and the final product would shoot much better, and more accurately. Torque, in my mind, is not at all the issue. Your suggestion that a wheeled shooter wouldn't be able to make a bigger shot than 5ft is flat out wrong. Period.
