Re: How far are people shooting?

We've finally gotten our hopper-to-shooter prototype up and running and are moving full-swing on to CADding the sheet-metal version. We fired it up today:

Linear shooter, mini-CIM on first wheel, CIM on second, with AM pneumatic wheels. Estimated 30-40 foot travel at about 40%/60% on the two wheels, respectively, at 15-20 degrees. Definitely looking optimistic at this point! Thanks to all the teams that posted success with the paint buckets, can't beat $3 essential robot parts
