axles: bottom only or top and bottom?

if bottom only, what's your chute made of?

if top and bottom, is top powered separately?

how many wheels on each axle?

wheel size, motor, and gear ratio?

PID or no?

What's the max wheel speed you are using?

What's the motor voltage (or current) at that speed?

What the launch angle and is it variable?

...stuff like that

We found that how the balls were fed in significantly effected the concistancy of the shooter. In prototyping we found that wheeled shooters generally are much more sentitie than the design that we ended up using, a belted shooter.

Try to eliminate as many variables as possible before concluding the shooter is at fault.
