Re: Top/bottom roller shooter vs. bottom roller only
Greetings,

I will have to agree with Todd on this one. A one axil shooter has been much more consistant than the 2 axis shooters we prototyped. We found that two
8" AM wheels roughly 2-3 inches apart running at 3500 RPM will shoot 1/2 court with a success rate ~40% with a rough prototype and hand feeding. We think we could get that up to 60%. As Todd stated before, the variation of the balls will make consistant long shot extremely difficult.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
