Re: FRC 95, The Grasshoppers, Build Thread
The shooter is now wired up and functional!
Here is the firing stage of the shooter spooling up to full-speed. It is powered by 2x RS775Pros with 1:1 versa planetary transmissions. All belts are designed 'perfect' center to center. Shafts are 1/4in steel D-shafts supported by bearings rated to ~50krpm.

Here is a test shot with the booster stage feeding the firing stage.

Two of three subsystems down... only the shoulder to go...
