 When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more] |

Frisbee Skeet Shooter
Hey, this is my first post so bear with me
 I'm on 3131 and I was wondering if anyone else is working on and or has had success with an arm based skeet type shooter. I'd love to here peoples results! We've shot 6 in a row from 50 feet.

Thanks, I remember seeing that one now. That is WAY different from what we're doing though. They three have major differences right now.
1) 45 degrees approximately which is cause the Frisbee to leave the arm at a right angle. 2) it's probably a little under powered. 3) Although probably not a huge problem, the self the Frisbee is sitting on does cause some problems as well. Here's a couple videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07zmzc4vC2Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otX9pYqXYkM Last edited by artdutra04 : 03-02-2013 at 13:14. Reason: merged back to back posts

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
Holy stored energy batman! Do you think its too hard, that it might bounce out?

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
I don't think so but we still need to test that. Also we're not at as much power as we were on the prototype. Mainly that was just a test of our storing mechanism which we just got put on today.

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
Oh ok. Just seeing if you had thought about it. Just one more curious question, are you shooting from that high up or was that just for testing?

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
I have yet to see one from that height. Most have been low to the ground shooters. Are you planning to climb?

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
Alrighty. Can't wait to see it all finished. Very different approach to shooting, but that's what FIRST is about.

Re: Frisbee Skeet Shooter
Right now I'm not sure exactly how consistent it is, but our prototype was REALLY consistent. 5/5 in the 3 point from 50 feet. 3 in a row hitting a 2x4 with now more that + or - 1 inch vertical deviation from 50 feet ect.
