Re: Making a cheap launcher

We only really have access to the Kit of Parts. Our budget on top of that is just a few hundred dollars. Knowing that direct drive should be enough, what I'm thinking right now is attaching drive shaft of the mini-CIM to a larger drive shaft. This drive shaft will direct drive one of the stock wheels, and a belt connected to this wheel will drive the other wheel. What I'm concerned about is what we will use for the larger drive shaft, and how the wheel will be direct driven by this shaft.
