Re: motor for ball Shooter?

We were able to fire poof balls the maximum permissable distance in 2006 using an FP geared 5:1 using a banebots planetary gearbox and a single 8" wheel. So far we have found that an 8" wheel spinning at about 1000-1500 rpm puts a nice bit of velocity (and backspin) on the orbit ball. The downside was that the 2006 shooter would slow down after two shots and would take a second or two to come back up to full speed.
