Re: pic: team 125 minature ball shooter prototype

If the ones in the front are going slower then the ones in back then that would probably allow for a quicker period for the wheels to get back up to speed then correct? And therefore it would eliminate a lot of waiting that some other teams may have to do between shots.

...Yes, that is correct. However, your ball would also be slower. It is a zero-sum game. If you want your ball to go faster (with the same power and motors) the wheels will take longer to get back to full speed.


And if the front wheels were slower, what would their purpose be anyway? All they would be is excess weight on your robot.
