Love this tool. Thanks Ether. I was playing around with it last night and this is pretty curious.

# User Parameters:
V = 35.0 # launch speed ft/sec
q = 82.0 # launch angle degrees
bps = 12 # balls per second

35 feet per second is approximately what a cim motor on a 4" wheel and efficiency losses included. If you can feed at 12 balls per second (ludicrous I know and keep the speed up on the motor (2 cims maybe for the torque and a flywheel?) They actually won't hit each other. Now that means the balls are going practically vertical, so the affect of the air on it's downward path will be interesting. It make not take a very good trajectory on the downward side. Once we are down with our production gear loading / unloading, and the climber, this is our third priority, so we'll know with testing.

But until then it makes me think will a flatter path or a more upward path work better?

Any thoughts? Ether? Richard?
