Re: Problems with tuning shooters using AM basketballs on Practice Field?

We're using 2x two 8" wheels on 1/2" shafts with AM hubs driven by AndyMark motors and Andymark 3.67:1 planetary gearboxes, and our PID is quite stable -- we fed both old and brand new balls through it and it was consistent except for once in a while... The compressibility of the ball didn't seem to influence the throw much.

...I hope that pans out!
