Re: pic: Shaker Robotics Shooter
Very nice. Our hoods are remarkably similar in design. We also chose a leadscrew for a few reasons. The top two being fine adjustment capability and also the resistance the leadscrew had on the hood torquing as a ball went through. The screw acts a mechanical stop as opposed to driving it at the pivot point with a longish moment arm.
Looking forward to seeing it all together.

It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. - Cory [more]
