Re: Getting more range out of a 4 wheel shooter
What is the diameter of your wheels?
What is the tread material on the wheels?
How much are the balls being compressed as they go through your wheels?
How are you feeding the balls into the shooter? (by hand? consistent feeder mechanism?)
In order of magnitude, we saw four ways to get more distance on our shooter:
1) More linear velocity speed on the shooter wheels (spin them faster, or use bigger wheels)
2) Grippier tread material on the wheels
3) Higher compression of the balls between the wheels (to a point)
4) Making sure both sets of wheels contact the ball at the same time when fed
