Re: 2 wheels vs 1 wheel in a linear shooter


I'm skeptical that a third wheel is necessary.

My engineering intuition tells me that the first wheel should be governed at a speed approx 75% of the second wheel. You should then be able to get plenty of exit velocity without slipping.

Has anyone out there tried a speed difference of this magnitude?
