- If the motor is kit legal, then what kind of reduction and wheel size do you have?
- Which one are you guys leaning towards using?

We do not have exact exit speeds on any of our shooters. We should have those in a couple days.
Both videos you watched were taken last night. This morning we hooked up a mini-bike motor, running it at 75% of the max. output, to shooter #1 and it fired the ball 12' high at a distance of 30'. Shooter #2 is power by 2 mini-bike motors, running at about 50% each. So yes, both shooters are legal. At least when it comes to motors. Muzzle velocity might be a bit high, but that can be changed.
We are leaning toward shooter #1 because we can load the balls low and shoot high. Right now we are revising shooter #1 and working on a hopper and collection system for our robot. More pictures soon...
