Next we'll hook up a motor controller to see how reducing the motor speed affects the shots. We may also go outside to see how far we can make baskets, at full motor power, given adequate headroom. Then, it's on to the catapult prototype.

We have a similar set up. we played around with power control as well. We found that at 100% we could get the range to make 1/2 court shots inconsistently. with reduced speed, the 8-15 ft shot were much more consistent than when we tried to power them in. angle and "touch" are going to win over high speed this year.
