Re: Firing Softballs
I kept my shooter together for a long time and it didnt decline at all (until i took it apart). i also built a robot that shot with 2 medium wheels spinning at 1:25 each with only one motor. this robot survived my test and a 1/3 scale FRC competion for FLL kids.
I have made a fvc legal softball launcher that uses a catapult type system. it used the rubber bands and the string allowed for this year and launched softballs completly autonomously (without me touching it). it launched softballs about 3' up and 4' forward. so it could score from about 2' away from the goal.
Unfortunatly I made this in the middle of another project and didn't completly finish it before I took pieces from it. nor did I take pictures of it but im sure i could build it again.
