Re: Getting more range out of a 4 wheel shooter

What is the diameter of your wheels? 8 inches

What is the tread material on the wheels? 2010 KoP wheels (Rubber?)

How much are the balls being compressed as they go through your wheels? ~3 inches

How are you feeding the balls into the shooter? (by hand? consistent feeder mechanism?) Consistent feeder

I talked to one of our mentors and he is worried that we will not have enough torque not having enough force on the ball to make any difference.
