Shooter Issue
So we finally are getting close to getting our robot complete, but we decided to test our shooter. We are running a linear shooter with 2, 4 7/8 in Orange Banebot wheels using 2 RS550's. The first wheel is on a 4:1 reduction, while the second wheel (final wheel that touches the Frisbee) is on 1:1 (via versa gearbox). We had 3/8 of an inch of compression. We tested the shooter and it shot about 12 frisbees (around 20-30 feet), and then the second wheel's orange tread bursted off. (basically the rubber tread popped off the wheel). We tested it again (with a new wheel), and the same thing happened after around another 12 shots. Why do you think the tread is popping off? is it the excessive speed of the second wheel... or the excessive amount of compression?
