Re: How fast can your robot shoot?

Oh, that's an easy question. Ours shoots as fast as the balls can get to the shooter.

Seriously, I'm not sure how many balls it can shoot in whatever time limit. What I do know, though, is that the tangential velocity of the shooting wheels is about 80 mph. The ball gets shot through the wheels at 60 mph (there's some slippage), then it goes through a vertical tube to our turret which slows it to more or less 28 mph.
