Re: Top/bottom roller shooter vs. bottom roller only

With one driven wheel at 1500 RPM, you get the same exit velocity as with two driven wheels at 750 RPM. So I am leaning towards the two driven wheel solution.

I am thinking that two FP motors driving one wheel is the same energy into the ball as one FP driving each wheel. Yes, you should manage your spin as well.

So if there's a vote, I pick the 2 roller shooter.
