Re: Pitching Machine Motor Calculations
It is worth noting that the motor doesn't shoot the balls -- the flywheels do. As long as the increase in load is sufficiently small (and/or of sufficiently short duration), you should be able to get away with running powerful motors at various duty cycles to achieve different speeds, and do so without massive current demands.
Note that this is inherently what Victors and Jags do to control motor speed.
