Re: Best Way to Shoot the Balls (Power?)

Flywheel and a good PID will prevent your motor from overworking. Its not that bad. And, just shut it off if you're not using it =)

My question is, is 12m/s muzzle velocity? if so, if we move the entire launcher assembly by some v, we'll have a ball traveling > 12 m/s but with a muzzle velocity of < 12 m/s..
