Re: Cim-Sim gearbox for shooter questions

We are running 2 8" AM hard plastic wheels, spaced about 2" apart. All is assembled as a single unit so all motors, gearboxes and wheels are linked with a single shaft.

We have about 2" of squeeze on the balls.

For shooting from the top of the key, i think we are running about 55% speed. Using Victors.
Isn't that a bit of an overkill? We are using 1 cim-u-lator with 1 banesbot motor and with only using a little under 70% power we are shooting around 52 feet.
