Think about it, not only would you be able to score balls twice as quickly, defending robots would have to double team you in order to stop all of your ball-scoring potential! And if you get pinned, just use whichever launcher happens to be facing the goal!
It's foolproof! |
Well... This thoguht has passed through our heads, briefly. There are a couple problems with using both at the same time:
1) Power consumption, in order to power both we'd have to use both mini-bike motors running at or near 100% max. output.
2) Shooter #2 tears the cover off of balls. When we were feeding balls through it you could see the foam flying off the balls as they left.
3) The way we are collecting an storing balls would make using both shooters very difficult.
We will have some pictures of our collection and storing system with in the next couple days as well as our 2 speed transmission.
