Re: Prototype data

Alright the all in on answering post

The test set up was a fridge set up 24' 9" away from the fixed shoot roughly at 35 degrees from the table that was standing up about 2 feet from the ground.

Spread was determined based off of an point of best fit. then from the point we measure out to the farthest up, down, left and right hit.

Why is there not higher rpm pneumatic wheel test: First reason the wheel in my opinion one wasn't balanced and two didn't have the right fit to the bead, causing lots of vibration and for safety reasons we cut it off at 3500 rpm. Secondly we were happy with the accuracy of pneumatic wheel at 3500 rpm. the 80 rpm test on the treaded wheel came about after an odd spread at 3500 rpm.

In addition to Evans posts above the 12" and 0" circled were benchmarks to see how it would fly into the 3 point goal.
