Thanks to all have posted to this thread. We tested our version last night.

We had been running two CIMs at 1:1 with 6" wheels with mediocre results. We could score in the high goal but only if we were close to the wall.

Last night we ran the 2-7/8" Bane Bot wheels. Our set up is BB550 motors at a 19:46 reduction. Two wheels 4" apart. The disk is loaded at about 12" off the floor with an angle of about 40 degrees. Running the motors at 50% shot the disks over the top of the high goal from about 17' away. Higher speeds did not change the performance much.

We started with 10-3/4" spacing but were not happy so we added a piece of 1/4" poycarbonate. Current spacing is 10-1/2". No additional friction material.
