Re: Gyro Effect!

But if you make a sharp turn or another robot tilts you a little bit then the added gyro effect could tilt you over. Our team has been debating this, and then want to shoot low and funnel out ball over the robot. This keeps the spinning wheel and the motor low but I believe we will not have the accuracy that a top mounted cannon. Because it would just shoot it in the direction instead of guiding it to a direction we want.

You said a single horzontal wheel would not work but how about two, similar to how other teams are doing?
