Go to Post Ancient doesn't necessarily mean bad, but ancient things do fall out of use, otherwise I'd be tapping this out in morse code or writing it in Latin. - Greg McKaskle [more]

Re: Please help - launcher issues.

Without seeing a video, it looks like you might be seeing a lot of slippage. A CIM(?) geared like that at that kind of voltage seems waaaay too fast, especially using a non-compressable wheel. Faster != better.

I would say start with what has worked for other teams so far. Pneumatic wheels, 1:1 ratio first wheel 1:1.25 ratio second wheel, 10-11 volt range on both. If that yields better results, start tweaking one variable at a time until you find something that works well for you.
