Re: pic: 888 Ball Shooter Prototype

First off, thanks.

What you can't see is the mini-bike motor that drives it on the other side.

In its current configuration, it shoots about 30 feet, when elevated to a 30 degree angle.
According to a radar gun, it travels at 24-26 mph, just a bit more than 12 m/s.
Accuracy is decent, the person catching it at 30' usually doesnt have to move to catch it. This should increase with an automatic feed.

I'm not sure if it puts a spin on the ball, its been too much fun just seeing it work, however, im sure i can test it out more tomorrow
