We did a little more shooter testing today, the single wheel shooter is looking good so far. We set up an older fisher price motor that has similar specs to the AM non-geared 2012 motor, with gear/chain reduction to give the 8" 2010 kit wheel a max theoretical speed of 4000 rpm. At full power, the ball goes most of the way across the wood shop...nice, flat trajectory after about 8 feet of travel, with plenty of backspin that makes it bounce off the backboard at a nice angle down towards the hoop. We're still setting up the backboard, etc, but it looks like it works as I hoped it would.
