Re: Prototype Small Wheeled Shooter

Because of the buggy BAG motor problem, we have switched our motors over to a BB775 at 3:1 for the first shooter, and a AM-9012 1:1 for the second wheel. The first wheel is at 90% power while the second is at 85%.

We are shooting the high goal from the back of the pyramid with ease so we are pleased with the result.

We also made the compression on the first wheel about 3/16 less than the first wheel to aid in our ground loading. This change did not effect distance at all.
