Re: Shooter wheel balancing
Again, it all depends on where you mounted your vibration sensitive parts. Our wheel shook like there was no tomorrow. (maybe not as bad a s yours, but still pretty strongly) We fixed it, sort of. For us it was more of a aesthetics issue than a functionality problem. So, anyway, we got rid of the turreting action (for other reasons) and tightened some bolts. Now, instead of only having to shake itself, some 80/20, and sheet metal while mounted on a single turntable bearing, it had to shake the whole robot. It really couldn't overcome the inertia of the bot to produce meaningful shaking. Even if it did, it wouldn't have mattered much since all our electricals were mounted to Plexiglas which would absorb vibrations.
