This is just the prototype to show distance running at full battery voltage. The real shooter will be tilted up to a higher angle and run much slower to allow us to have better control of wheel velocity across battery voltages. 18-19ft is about the max shot anyone would conceivably take from around the low bar area into the right side goal. We will also likely be shooting from lower than this shooter is currently mounted which takes away a lot of distance as well.
