Re: One or Two Wheel Shooter
You have to remember, with a single wheel the RPMs must be twice as high as a double-wheel design to get the same ball end velocity. Not to say that it takes twice as much power, just that you will have a faster-spinning object on your robot, which is potentially a safety hazard. Something to think about.
