Re: FRC3548 4 wheel Ball Shooter

We're pretty darn lazy, and it seems to take us forever to make just a single moving part for the robot. So we just used one motor, one wheel, one gear, and let the ball get a lot of back spin, which conveniently makes it like to go into the basket when shot at the backboard.

So to answer the percent spin difference question...we "spin" the upper "wheels" at zero speed (it's just a couple pieces of metal, not wheels). and spin the lower wheel at about 3500-4000 rpm.
