Re: Gear ratios for launcher
Two weeks ago I made a pitcher using two rollers made out of 2.5" PVC covered in wedge top tread. This was powered by two 775s on banebot 46-1 gearboxes with no chain reduction. The compression of the balls was about 2 inches.
I would be comfortable shooting from half court with this thing. It is also good for rapid fire, the 775s have so much torque that the rollers will spin at a steady speed no matter what.
