What motor and gearbox did you use on your shooter?
What motor and gearbox did you use on your collector?
Do you guys shoot at one speed or does it vary depending on the distance?
Is the deflector/backboard on your shooter shooting the balls up, down, or parallel with the robot?

We used two RS-545's on our shooter, and two Fisher-Price motors on our intake. Both sets of motors were powered through custom transmissions using gears from the KOP FP Gearbox. Our launcher is currently using a fixed speed. The hood for the launcher can have it's angle varied, such that it's shooting at any of the trajectories you described.

Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" -- R.W. Emerson
