Re: Need Advice! - Shooter is not performing as expected
Watch that rpm. Most wheels are not rated to spin that fast and a catastrophic failure may result. (and serious injury if someone is near it.)
We enclosed the wheel so if it blows, it is contained.
We did our shooter with the short sim direct drive, 90 degree, with a 6 in wheel with traction tread riveted on, A bearing support for the wheel weight and the opposite side, also traction tread on the reaction surface. We set it up for 1/4" compression of the disc.
Our auton position at the back of the tower requires 11 volts to hit the 3 point target.(24 degree angle) If we crank it up to full, we get a 48 foot shot from the floor (20 degree shooter angle) that hits the wall with a bang at 11 feet high. may be good for the 2 point goal from the feeder station if can get some blocking from an alliance partner.
Good luck all, and watch the safety!!!
