Re: Shooter Survey

-Shooter Wheel Diameter (inches) = 12 (2 wheels with a center gap)
-Compression (inches) = 1.5
-Travel time in shooter (degrees) = ~60

Shooter tread material would also be nice to know. Hard rubber.

We do not feel ball density effected our accuracy as much as many other teams have indicated. Surface wear was a bigger factor for us. Overall our large diameter and modest compression seemed to give very accurate results without much sensitivity to ball variation.
