Side vs. Top Shooter

[farmersvilleRob]

But how heavy were the nerf balls? This year's are 11.2 ounces. Thats very heavy and will make a HUGE difference in the torque to rpm ratio gearbox. Especially when watching these threads go through and the prototype shooters are barely making the 8 foot shot. Which is also a big change in distance considering that gravity cannot play a part in the full slope like it could in 2006. As well, there is a compression difference pointed out in my previous point that also is a huge affect on the needed torque to compress the ball while taking it in. 2006 was a rpm game. This is a torque game
