If you dont' mind me asking, how are you changing the angle of your shooter?
Thanks! You might be able to catch it in the video if you watch closely (Seen well around 48 to 50 seconds). The shooter is fixed and hinges on the back. We have an acme screw which is in the middle of the linkage between the drive base and the shooter, which drives the linkage outward and extends it. I am a bit more mechanically inclined and I'm unaware of which we are currently using, but I know we have both encoder feedback on the screw and an inclinometer mounted on the shooter itself which accurately reads angle measurements.
