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.

We found the spacing to be very sensitive, we see best results at 10 and 3/8" with the banebot wheels.
