Re: What Shooter Design was Most Consistent
Our shooter (3507) was one of the most consistent at the OK Regional. It has two wheels right next to each other, both above the ball when it shoots. What's different about ours than most is that the ball is in contact with the wheels for about half a rotation. Our feeder is also quite consistent, having guides to put it into the shooter just right, and then the two wheels pull it into place if it's out. Finally, we have a shield on the back end to propel it forwards properly.
