That looks really cool, how much range can you get out of it?

[sanelss]

I want to see this thing working. those arn't even mini-cims so I cant imagine you get a very good shot out of it

RS- 775s work pretty darn well for shooters. I think you'd be very surprised.

A "good" shot in this game might not necessarily be a distance shot anyway. But I also wouldn't be surprised to see these wheels launch it pretty far.

I love it, and look forward to seeing it in action!

we are launching up to 16 feet, but he is actually very reliable at 10 feet. the principal is not the engine, which is very good, but the pressure and the area of contact on the ball ...

also, there is a chance of a video for today, but tomorrow is for sure!

We used rs-775s last year on our shooter with a 4:1 gear reduction. This brought us down to about the same rpm as a CIM but with more torque. We could even do full-court shots with them. They can pack a punch if used correctly.

OP - Very cool, haven't seen anything like it on CD yet this year. I would love to see a video of it working!

You should read up on motor power ratings before making such statements/assumptions.

RS775-18 = 273W
MiniCIM = 229W

A 775 can provide more power than a MiniCIM. I'm betting they are shooting just fine.

We are finishing the mechanical parts from the robot, probably 3 or 4 more hours and we will be ready to record some shootings and post here...

here's a picture from the work up to now...

What's that material on the rollers?

[calvinpanho]

By the rollers i suppose you are referring to the "brownish" pipes???
they are 40mm (+- 1.57 in) PVC water pipes...

Looks powerful. Nice.

Here I thought our puncher was a monster! That thing looks spectacular. My compliments to whoever was involved in the assembly. Yet, I cannot clearly see any form of ball intake. Does your design make you reliant on your partners to hand the ball to you before shooting?
