Re: Farthest Shot

My rookie team got our shooter to shoot 100+ feet (I dont remember exactly how far it was. During a few practice matches in Sacramento we shot into the upper stands. (actually got in a lot of trouble from a reff.)

When we were at 254/1868's lab we got a full court shot at I believe around 30-40% power. At 100% we were shooting high above the hoops and at one point i think we hit one of the heat lamps attached to the ceiling. I felt really bad. Lol

We used 4 banebots 775, and we're probably not using those motors in the future. They are anyting but Reliable and consistent.

Here is the video of our full court shot:

You can always have one cim moter power each side and gear it up so the torque is made up for. It would be slower, though.

I believe he meant to say "a waste of power." the same torque can be achieved with one CIM, but it would be slower since the power from the second CIM is not available. I don't think it a waste of either. The amount of power provided. By a CIM would have been reasonable for the application. I do however believe that it is a waste of a CIM. CIMs are big. Big motors can disipate thermal loads far more efficiently than small motors like 550s and other similarly sized or smaller motors. 775s are also big, but CIMs are bigger. This makes them the most appropriate for applications in which they will stall, or come close go stalling for extended periods of time or applications where they are required to run for the entire match. A shooter, if designed and used propperly, is not either of thise things, but a drivetrain is.
