We evaluated multiple designs early, and ended up with a single wheel, 8" pneumatic, lineral shooter design. Our strategy was to shoot from back of pyramid, unblockable to the 3 point. We were a tall bot, and when we were too tall to be agile, we morphed into a full court shooter. We never had a reason to redesign the shooter to shoot 2's, shooting 3's we needed a little more power to get our accuracy above 80% shooting 3's.
We had very accurate and active speed control on the wheel, are you missing that?
