Re: Shooting Motors and wheels

How are you controlling your motor at the moment? If you're not doing closed loop speed control, you're going to have some difficulty getting good accuracy at a high rate of fire. If you ARE doing closed loop speed control, you want to set your gearing so the motor is spinning at about 50% max speed when you're at your target speed for firing. That'll give you the best control and recovery time.
