Re: How do you shoot so fast?

How fast is your motor spinning when you're at during speed? If the motor is spinning near its free speed, there isn't much torque available to soon the motor back up to speed. You should have the gearing set up so when your wheel is at target speed, the motor is spinning at about 60% free speed. Then when your PID kicks the motor output up to 100%, it will dump the most power it can into the wheel to get it back up to speed.
