Or, just put your shooter's RPM at peak efficiency for whatever motor you are using. My team was shooting twice as fast at IRI because we switched from a CIM on our shooter to a pair of BB550s in a Cimulator box. It just so happens that the banebots+gearbox were near peak efficiency at the RPM we ran the CIM at, so we went from shooting about 1 disc/sec to 2.5 disc/sec.

Whoa, there, let's keep it within the realm of possibility! Update on the CAD: drive base is done, drive gearboxes stolen from 1477's CAD are in place. I will make custom ones once I finish the rest of the CAD.

But I think with some programming magic and a rapid fire rate, it could be done.

They had by far the best spatula collector. It was the only one I saw that could collect from both directions, and one of the few that could be effectively used in teleop. What really bothered me, though, was that they didn't have a climb.
