1:1 gearbox for CIM motors?

[ratdude747]

I have experience running 6" 2008 KOP wheels direct to a cim. in fact, I was the machinist who lathed up the shaft.

3 wheels, no added weights, using a custom shaft machined from 1/2" hex steel (AL= fail) was able to shoot a 2009 orbit ball into a 2009 trailer 10ft away. however, after a few shots the shooter lost a considerable amount of RPMs, so a flywheel prototype was attempted, which took too long to rev up. In the end, code was written to add a extra bit of power for every successive shot in a certain time window at a given power level.

using such a config this year may not even need such code due to the possession limits...

so can a DD cim shooter work? yes.
