Re: Cim-Sim gearbox for shooter questions

We have a similar set=up, except we are pulling the ball from the bottom and shooting over the top.

We are using 2 CIM-sim's on our shooter. 2 FP and 2 AM motors total.
We are direct driving the wheel, so there is no speed reduction from the gearbox output.

We are running 2 8" AM hard plastic wheels, spaced about 2" apart. All is assembled as a single unit so all motors, gearboxes and wheels are linked with a single shaft.

We have about 2" of squeeze on the balls.

For shooting from the top of the key, i think we are running about 55% speed. Using Victors.
