Hardest Shooting Robots

[Ginger Power]

So while watching the GTR-E Regional I was blown away by 2013's shooter speed. If you were hit by it I'm pretty sure you'd die.

I can't speak to what they are using to power their shooter, but 4607 is running 775pro's at a 3:1 with 4 inch high grip wheels. It isn't on 2013's level, but it has some good speed. The GreenHorn's Ri3D robot, Rivvet ran mini cims at 1:1 with 4" high grip wheels which was less powerful than 4607's shooter.

So I'm curious, who has the hardest shooter that you've seen, and what are the specs?

I really don't know much about the specifics of the shooter, but my old team made powerful shots from the outer-works. Here is a video of them in their last match of the event.

Sorry to derail a bit, but what compression are you using with that setup?

We are running 2 miniCIMs with custom 'wheels'. The design, seating and balancing of the wheels is what gives us the power in the shot. Ratio is 1:1.

Do you have any videos of it shooting?

Can go in detail about the design and manufacturing process? Sounds like you are doing something very different from most teams.

When our roborio isnt broken (hardware) we shoot really hard. Minicim running with about a 5 pound flywheel.

I can tell you that 4557 is using 775's 3:1 versa planetary with 4" high grips from last years kit bot 3" compression and we achieved 56 mph out of the shooter

4009 DNA was shooting boulders pretty hard at Lake superior.. (they are on red alliance)

Did anyone see 5817's reveal?

What about non-wheeled shooters like punchers? My team, 1706, is using the kind of spring from a car suspension, taking about 245lbs of force to pull it back completely.

What are you using to pull that back, and how long does it take?

Ours is a puncher as well #teamclaw, but it "only" takes about 180-200
