Re: Prototype Small Wheeled Shooter

Here is our shooter as of Monday. Standard stuff, 1:1, 3:1, bag motors 'bout 3/8 compression right now with a rubber strip on opposite side.

We designed it to use two or three wheels but found the third wheel added little for the amount of complication it added. We also tried 3" Colsons but switched back to the Bane Bots. You never know, durability testing may make the Colsons more attractive.

Sorry for the shaky cell phone video.

Big thanks to the folks at 3847 and everyone else who shared on this thread.
