Re: Motor Used for Shooting

We're planning to pull our catapult with an AM PG71 (motor is a 9015), taken down another factor of 3.6 (at initial design) with sprockets and #25 chain. The encoder is already in place on the COTS assembly.

We'll probably use another PG-71 (no encoder, just limit switches) for our mechanism to lift the ball over the bumpers and into the launcher.

Roller pickup TBD.
