Re: How far can you shoot legally?

We were shooting from the center of the field (~28 feet) into the center goal, with a shooter mounted about as high as you can get firing at a 45 or 50 degree angle. We are pretty certain the ball was going less than 12 m/s. This was not full power on the shooter even for us, but it is our limit now since we successfully had our wheel begin coming apart shortly afterwards from the centripetal force.
