Re: Motor Used for Shooting

We're also looking at using a 775pro at a 3:1 but I'm having trouble figuring out how to attach a longer shaft to the VersaPlanetary Gearbox shaft.

I figure in order to gain efficiency it would be better to drive the shooter wheels directly from the gearbox, without adding a second set of gears, belt/pulley or sprocket/chain set-up. We don't have a lathe, so is our only option to not directly drive the shooter wheel?
