Re: Fuel leaves behind a thin film

I saw the same thing with the FTC particles while mentoring last year. It looks like it shouldn't cause much of an issue if your shooter wheels are moderately compliant, and in contact with the fuel for several inches of travel.

My best guess is that it happens with the initial acceleration, where the fuel is grabbed after about 2 rotations, and it's not causing an issue after it is at speed.

If you plan to be shooting a lot, either plan around it or be prepared to remove it after each match. In FTC, I found that it's easy enough to grab with your hands.
