Re: Double Shooter for 2013 robot
In theory, a side-by-side double shooter isn't difficult to build- what makes it difficult- especially if you also want floor pickup- is successfully indexing the discs. In addition- you're going to need to design with the number ofmotors available in mind - at least one CIM Per shooter, 4 on the drive train, any sort of drop-down intake will make use of another, etc.

I'm interested to see how your new robot comes out and performs.
Keep us posted on your progress!
