Your prototype seems to work well. Do you plan on aiming with the camera?

Well you didn't spend 30 hours in a minivan with him!

There is a definite limit of how much Dr. Love I can take.

And...I have not had that pleasure. And...I can see your point. And...you may have something there.

The final shooting design is getting it's final tweaks this weekend and production is starting to being! Exciting times at Lafayette Jeff High School.

nice, we will hopefully be prototyping the next few days and also start building...

We are considering driving the ball throwing wheels directly of the 2 1/2 CMI Motor and controlling the motor speeds.

We have not been able to locate a coupler to go from the 8mm motor shaft to the .5" shaft in the wheels or a motor busing to do the same

In a high torque appication like this a key way would be necessary making this a difficult part to make or purchase.

Anyone know where we can purchase this strange bushing?

We encountered the same problem. We ended up using a Poly-Cord belt for to drive our shooter. We found pulleys at the hardware store but they only came in 1/2" and up. So we started looking around and found a shaft collar/bushing that is about 1 1/2" long and has two large set screws. It just so happens that this 5/16" collar fit the 8mm shaft and that it was exactly 5/8" in diameter. So we bought a pulley to fit the 5/8" bushing.

I don't know about a keyway though. We were able to do it without one simply because our pulley had a gigantic set screw and our bushing has two. If you find that a keyway is not necessary though, definitely try poking around the hardware store just to see what you can stumble across.
