Re: Modeling Ball Shooters
Shooter wheels very noticeably slow down when a ball contacts them - you can see this if you take high speed video of a shot in progress (highly recommend doing this in development). Do you have any way of measuring the minimum speed a shooter wheel spins at during the shooting process? Perhaps the shooter is slowing down to that 2400 RPM mark just as the ball is leaving. I'm mostly spitballing here, but maybe there's something to this.

As I told my friend Joe Johnson, just because you aren't around as much doesn't mean that you can just close the book on this chapter, instead - just keep a book marker in this place, so you can remember how to find your way back home - when the time is right.
