Re: Boulder inconsistency issue

Just as another approach (instead of the mechanical side), here's a programming side:

Tune a PID control with a feedforward on the shooter motors. For us, this significantly decreased ball consistency problems with high shots. Although the ball is shot out really fast, there is enough time to somewhat correct the RPM back to your set RPM as the shooter is slowed by the ball going through it.
