3 robots designs I hope to see this season

It does make a couple of assumptions, such as Power In = Power Out (power required by the ball is available in the shooter wheel).

The whole point of the exercise is to figure out what motors to use and what shooter wheel radius to use. It's "doable", but personally I wouldn't bet my season on it being successful.

Okay, I didn't see anywhere that you assumed length of time/distance over which the ball would be in contact with the wheel and was curious. I also wanted to make sure you didn't have a units jumble somewhere.
