Re: Fixed Angle vs. Adjustable angle Shooter

Our team decided on a fixed angle with adjustable speed. It would be simpler in the sense of using less motor's and etc. You would need more motors, gears, pistons, POWER, and whatever else you are using to cause the platform to raise, and to make the pitching devices speed adjustable. Also, making more things move and adjust leaves more room for mistakes.
