Adjustable Shooter

Just curious how other teams are adjusting their shooters. Are you adjusting speed, angle of shot, or both?

Re: Adjustable Shooter

Skunks, Speed plus turret for aiming.
We have the ability to change the launch angle but not during the match.

Re: Adjustable Shooter

At least speed, if time allows then angle too

Re: Adjustable Shooter

If we adjust anything, it'll be both angle and speed. We don't think just adjusting speed without changing angle will produce a useful range of shots into the same goal. It rarely does.

Angle changing may be a thing that we save for after the first event, after seeing where it's important to shoot from, to keep things simple.

Re: Adjustable Shooter

Neither. I like the idea of a single shooting position at a single constant speed.

Re: Adjustable Shooter

Our autonomous will have adjustible shooter speed. However, for the remainder of the match we will run with the exact same configuration and will shoot using a hard stop. We don't have the programming capability to build a reliable adjustible shooter.

We can change angle, point of release, compression etc outside of the match though. Depending on strategy we may switch configurations.

Re: Adjustable Shooter

If we end up having more than one shot we want to hit (big if), we'll probably have a second angle with a second speed. But definitely not more than 2 different angle/speed combinations. Sounds unnecessary and difficult.

I concur. Repeatability is key.

Re: Adjustable Shooter

Our prototyping showed that it's only about 1/4th inch range or so that you need to move the trailing edge of a wheeled shooter backboard in order to aim the shot well. We will be adjusting both

Re: Adjustable Shooter

Turreted full court shooter that shoots between 5 and 30 bps based on range. Move over 1717!



Sadly I cannot divulge our true master plan OF DOOM! They will hunt me down. Come back in 3 weeks.
