Go to Post The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. - mrnoble [more]

Re: FlyWheel Prototype Help

As maddoctor said, it sounds like the wheels are already slipping through the entire contact with the ball. If I recall correctly, the force on the ball is the normal force x the dynamic coefficient of friction. Spinning the wheels faster doesn't change either of these. As someone else implied, increasing ball compression will change the normal force, and you should throw farther, with more transfer of kinetic energy from the wheels.
