Re: Colson Performa Safety

Lots of speed #'s, but what are the boulder compressions people are running? The friction forces would cause the delamination, if anything.

2x775 PRO -> CIM-ile -> Chain -> 4" Colson with hex bore @ 7" spacing for a side shooter (2.5" compression). Max shot range is 24 feet, but we will never try quite that far on the field. We didn't do belt because the compression distance actually wasn't set in stone until after our first event, so we didn't want to have to re-CNC the wheel plates on the shooter.

I'm really surprised the CIM-ile isn't mentioned more when talking about shooter motors. It's such an efficient gearbox and is very lightweight.
