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

We also have a driver enabled adjustment button. Each click of the button decreases (or increases) the voltage applied to the shooter by 1/10th of a volt. This results in a decreased (increased) RPM of ~100. So if we find we are overshooting by 5 feet, the human shooter knows to decrease 3 clicks based on data collected during practices.

The problems that are often outside of our control (like ball squishy-ness) are the most valuable learning tools! Thanks, GDC!
