Re: 3 Wheel 3 CIM shooter

The day before we had CIM > Mini > wall and it was hitting 9 feet up at about 40 feet away, this is at least double that with the extra mini

This is doing that to an extent as the first wheel it contacts is going 5,300 RPM and the next 2 are going 6,200, We enjoy not having to worry about chain or gearboxes and seeing as we are getting more than full court shots (with amazing accuracy, hitting the same cinder block on the wall 3 times in a row from 70 feet) this is the design we are going to go with.

Thanks! It looks like that's the plan after today's tests, you will see one of them in our Vlog this week, I think they forgot what years game they were playing if you know what I mean
