We are using 2 CIM-sim's on our shooter. 2 FP and 2 AM motors total.
We are direct driving the wheel, so there is no speed reduction from the gearbox output.
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.

Reason: using cim-u-lator not a cim
