That looked like some good distance! And it looked pretty consistent, which is awesome! Keep up the excellent work!

Good job, 3997! A consistent shooter goes a long way in games like this.

What motor/gearing setup was that?

[midway78224]

We are running a cim on the gates belting 1:1 ratio. The cimple box is just there for the wheel axle.

Is the ball in contact with the rollers for an instant or for a while (around the entire hood of the one-wheel shooter)?

[midway78224]

It is in contact while going thought almost all of bonnet. It is a 2 inch squeeze thought the whole bonnet until it is unleash.

Try a tread wheel and use two instead of what looked like four. So far good job, and good luck.

[midway78224]

We already changed the wheel but the kids decided after testing it that is the design they wanted to go with.

[krazyman1013]

Did you have a 2" - 2.5" spacing between the wheels?

[midway78224]

We have a 2 inch squeeze from wheel to back of shooter hood.
