How long does it take the shooting wheel to spin up? Can you vary the speed to change the height of the ball's trajectory?

What material is on your rollers? Mousepad works superbly well. We used mousepad and pneumatic tubing.

I'd like to see it if I get back to Merrimack anytime soon.

Check out 612's cool pictures in our gallery.
Not sure about the rear red wheels, but we bought the front two wheels from Andy Mark.

Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to get the launch wheel going. I'm thinking of ways to get that better while still being underweight

The rollers are all aluminum except the top which is wrapped in pipe insulation so it has a wider diameter for giving the balls enough push to get them into our storage, it's very similar to mousepad material

We didn't use the two speed transmissions last year, but we are this year
