Re: FRC3548 4 wheel Ball Shooter
This design is cool. I don't want to be a party pooper, but I have a few questions.
First, what do you mean by 2 CIMs and 4 motors? I only see 4 fisher-price type motors in the pictures, no CIMs.
Second, why in the name of Kamen would you smooth your wheels? the fact that you're only getting 16 feet from a 4 motor shooter means you're losing a lot of energy between the energy and the ball. The usual idea is to make the wheels high-traction so that less energy is lost to the wheels sliding along the surface of the ball.
It looks pretty darn awesome though!
