TechHOUNDS Wheeled-Shooter Prototype 2014

[4783 ravenators]

so i also discussed this design my team and they argued that there was no space. but after the match starts you can have 20" extra on each side so me and my design team made a prototype witch was to peaces of a circle like this () put together on rails and that expanded after the match starts like this ( ).
the only problem is we don't have gears and the ball can't shoot far enough so the rest of the team thinks this design is horrible but hey what can you do lol. i can also send out photos of the prototype if you want when i have the time.

Are you guys using the newer (2012-present) kit wheels that have a "tread" on them, or the older ones that are smoother? Hard to tell from the vid.

Considering that the post says that they're 8" wheels, I assume that they're the smooth ones.

What was the RPM of each set of wheels?

Nice to see the team making progress despite the school being closed. Go 'HOUNDS!
