Re: [Behind the Lines] Ep. 5 Mechanism Design with 118, 3847, and 973!

I'm interested in learning a bit more about shooters as our team hasn't had to do anything with flywheels just yet. The wheel selection was well presented, but I just don't understand 254's robot in 2014 could fire the balls with a shooter! Considering the speeds and torques the 2012 motors ran out, it boggles me that the yoga balls could be fired with significant speed. Allen, do you have any resources pertaining to the deeper physics involved with shooters?
