Re: Shooter Help for 2nd Year Team

Thanks for the replies!

We are going to do some more work this afternoon and I will make sure I get pics to post along with other pertinent info. I will also task the team members with utilizing the resources here at Chief Delphi better.

They are currently using 3 of the large CIM motors with no gearboxes. The motor shafts are just linked directly to the wheel hubs.

I believe they have just been hooking directly in to one of the robot batteries.

There was talk that any sort of variable speed control would have to be programmed?

So far we do get a bit of distance, but as it stands we would have to sit right next to the low goal and hope for the best. Angle doesn't seem to affect things much at this point.

Our regional is next weekend and we don't have a lot of time to finish this so we really appreciate the assistance.
