I'm impressed. Where do you store the balls before shooting, in a side-by-side hopper? Let's see, 3-foot diameter times Pi, hmm, 9.42 feet, or 2.87 meters. Unless you are using a two wheel design (the mind reels), you would only need to run that wheel at 500 RPM to shoot the ball at 12 m/sec. Let's see, a FP runs nearly that fast at the next-to-the-last gear in the gearcase, so are you just hanging a modified FP on each side of the wheel?
Whatever happens, I want to see a pic of that robot posted here on CD, OK?
