Re: Fixed Angle vs. Adjustable angle Shooter

401 is in the same predicament. We started testing tonight at different locations and distances to make more than an educated guess. Right now we are still nowhere close to a verdict, but hope to reach one by Saturday night.

I highly recommend that you get a quick test plan and test different angles. Even if it means jacking the front end of your robot up to achieve different angles of departure. We were surprised with some of the responses we got. We found that sometimes the 'sweetspot' was achieved more effectively at much lower speeds than we had anticipated.

Just some food for thought. Do the engineering behind it and test your assumptions. Some will be right and some will be wrong, but that is ok. Just remember to take multiple shots from the same data set (i.e. angle and speed setting)

Goodluck and I will see you guys at Chesapeake with The RoboBees
