Both sides of our shooter have an in-line versaplanetary encoder which allow us to control the speed of each wheel. Funny story, we remembered when we were setting different RPMs for testing that 4500 is the max for our setup because we set the system to 6000 and the when we measured our speed with a tachometer, it never got above that 4500. Hopefully that speed will be achievable with the new gearbox stages.
