Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel
We actually did that already and it didn't help. What is the compression your team use and how much of an arc that the ball contact the hood. Thanks.

We were hitting the roof of our building quite easily at full power with blue 4 inch diameter stealth wheels. I don't know the exact number but its 25 to 30 feet of height. Couple that with extreme accuracy (hitting the center of a roof tile many times consecutively) and I'd say stealth wheels are a-ok for shooting. |

Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel
Now I'm curious how you designed a hopper and indexer that could possibly line it up in a reasonable manner.

All that said, I've had great experiences shooting with compliant wheels, I think they're great for this game piece. |

Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel
Our compression we have been varying and due to welding right now, I've been separated from my team. I know that it is not a lot. The arc of the hood is very little.

Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel
About an eighth of an inch, maybe a few thousandths more.

Re: What wheel to use for the flywheel
Our one wheel shooter prototype was an 8 inch wheel powered direct drive with a cim and we had plenty of distance and had some accuracy issues.
Our 4 wheel shooter prototype was 4 - 4 inch compliant wheels on 2 shafts powered by 2 mini cims. First prototype testing we hit the same 2" pipe along our ceiling for 10 shots in a row with plenty of power to spare. The pipe is about 12 feet straight up. We did no further tests. |
