Re: CIM motors

Based on our shooter for last season the motor power does not make a huge difference in shooting distance, it does however affect how quickly you can get the wheel back up to speed.

We initially designed our shooter for Rebound Rumble to be powered by two 775s. One night when we were at our practice location the shooter started making a funny clunking sound. We traced it down to one of the motors. Since we didn't have a spare with us and we were mainly working on our autonomous we removed the second motor. We still shot 95% or so of the distance as we could with two motors, so we stuck with the single motor.
