Re: HIGH torque shooter

I really don't know why you would need six motors to run a shooter... There are other ways of getting enough power to shoot the balls. I can tell you right now we aren’t using a motor, springs, pneumatics, or even electronics at all to shoot the ball. Plus were using 3' wheels on our shooter, there is no need for 8inch wheels at all. When the 21st comes along ill share our secrets, but not now. Plus we can still shoot 10 balls in around 5-6 seconds.

Plus the timing belt that was used to get the power up there would more than likely get stripped after about 3 shifts, unless they were from a stand still. Plus being able to shoot on the fly really helps.
