Re: Rails vs Plates
This is a decision your team has to make for yourselves. Both carry inherent advantages and disadvantages, but the real difference comes in how each one fit into your design. Dual rails offer the ability to vary the compression by changing the lateral distance between rails. A flat plate offers the advantage of being a consistent backing even if the ball doesn't follow the exact same path every time.
What shooter wheels are you using, and in what setup? If you're using two shooter wheels with a gap in between, I'd probably avoid the dual rails. While in a perfect world this would be fine, the system would be very sensitive to inconsistent loading. But ti all depends on the rest of your system and what you can produce.
