Go to Post I think there is much to be learned from working in teams, and team projects, but even more when you go out on your own some time for something you are truly passionate about. - paul_v [more]

Re: [FTC]: Help with shooting mechanism?

These high gear ratio spinners take a while to get up to speed. So wait till they are at full speed before shooting.

Note: In MD, some teams spun up their motors at the start of the match before Autonomous was actually enabled.

I posted a question on the FTC Q&A regarding the legality of this. As I suspected it's not legal for a couple of reasons. Only the servos are permitted to be powered before autonomous is run...

So you just have to wait before shooting.
