Re: Pitching Machine Motor Calculations

FIRST Team 1296 is thinking of a transmission that will host 2 FP motors geared 4:1 and 2 AndyMark motors geared 3:1. We'll run 2 wheels (probably), perhaps with one geared to run 5% slower (to create backspin). We are thinking such a device could easily shoot from the the top of the key on the opposite side. This is not necessary of course but would be a kewl demo after the competition season.

Does this sound crazy?
