We have a lead screw being used to adjust our shooter mechanism, which for the most part, is working like a charm. I cant believe the 1st banebot gearbox ratio we chose was the best one.
Initially after the shooter was built, we mounted it to a varying angle extruded aluminum frame to match the height where we designed the shooter to be. From there we determined the optimal angle range of the shooter head. Thus, the decision to design a varying angle shooter using the lead screw was determined.
