Gear ratios for launcher

For me, this is the most powerful message of FIRST, that people can come together and work together to achieve so much, and leave old rivalries, grudges, and hard feelings behind. When people talk about culture change, this is what I hope for. - Aren Siekmeier [more]

Gear ratios for launcher

Has anyone found that magic gear ratio that works best for the launcher?

Our team tried doing a direct drive with the CIM motor but the ball did not go very far. I remember reading that a 2.7 to 1 gear ratio works best but I can't be sure. Any ideas?
