Round your shooter wheels

We feed a fresh note to the robot every few days to keep wear levels inconsistent.

Our latest stealth wheel based shooter (top-bottom, 1/2" compression) was leaving surface cuts in the note surface . Just holding a file to the exposed corner of the wheel for a few seconds completely resolved the cuts with no change in performance. This small change reduces wear on your notes and competition notes, win-win.

Note 3 was introduced in the morning. Then we rounded the corners and fired note 4 for an equivalent number of shots. Wear level seen here.

Excellent tip. Thanks for sharing.

We had this problem with destroying cubes last year due to the edge of wheels being sharp. Definitely a good idea.
