Not sure why Miles didn't answer your question. It's a two-stage* shooter using a pair of 3.5" colsons on each stage and a lexan-surfaced hood. Each stage is powered via belt by a 30:18 geared up miniCIM. Currently the motors are open-loop. We'll be closing the loop and implementing speed control real soon. Release angle is around 35-40 degrees to the horizontal. This particular shot is from the defence "safe zone."

Here's the best picture I have at the moment. Intake was between revisions at this point.


*In my opinion, this is the key to this shooter's accuracy. More time for the ball to reach shooter wheel speed means less slip, less slip means less variation in shot between balls.
