Re: Motor Used for Shooting

We have have exceptional results with our prototype using a single RS 775-18 geared 2:1 driving a pair of 4" wheels. We run the motor anywhere between 8.5v and 10v.

Our intent is to run a pair of 775pro's geared 3:1 (60:19 to be exact) and (This is for you, Ether) Bang-Bang to control the rate of the wheel.
Our plan is to use a single retro reflective section and just measure the period to determine the rate the wheel is spinning. We may end up with two sections to preserve balance in the wheel.
