Re: 1885's Week 1 Experiments

how many balls do you have? did you get them right away after the kickoff? I think that dodgeball is not an appropriate use of the orbit balls when they are broken easily and especially when other teams in the area still with only one ball. other than that your friction wheel shooter looks good and viable if you can hit a moving target from a moving platform. if you have a lathe, that is another good way to test a shooter(i.e. put your wheel thing in the lathe chuck).
