Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel

Our one wheel shooter prototype was an 8 inch wheel powered direct drive with a cim and we had plenty of distance and had some accuracy issues.

Our 4 wheel shooter prototype was 4 - 4 inch compliant wheels on 2 shafts powered by 2 mini cims. First prototype testing we hit the same 2" pipe along our ceiling for 10 shots in a row with plenty of power to spare. The pipe is about 12 feet straight up.

We did no further tests.
