Re: Rapid fuel feeding into shooter

25 in 2006 had a brilliant shooter and straight up dominated Aim High. Essentially they had a flywheel and a mill to feed the ball. Flywheel on a live axle, and then a mill that went around the flywheel on a dead axle, both were powered by different motors. The mill allowed them to control the out put of the balls effectively, and run it backwards if anything jammed. Take a look at any of their match videos.

We are currently working on a prototype that will shoot 3 balls wide with a mill that goes around it. Looking forward to the results.
