Re: Getting more range out of a 4 wheel shooter

For what it's worth... we have a similar two-wheel sets setup as you. However, we're powering them with 2 RS-550's, one on top and one on bottom. They go through a 7:1 reduction to the shooter wheels. At about a 45 degree angle, we can hit the backboard for the top basket from midfield (that is, when the ball doesn't hit the ceiling in our shop!). That's running both sets of wheels at full speed by plugging them into a battery for testing.
