Versatile shooter angle recommendations?

FIRST General Forum

Has anyone found a good versatile shooter angle for the speaker?

Our team made some big technical advances over the last year, but we’re not quite ready to tackle a variable angle shooter design (mostly due to programming learning curves and just starting to onboard proper gyro/limelight usage).

But, we have a great top bottom split axle shooter design that we can hit speaker shots from distance (not just up against the subwoofer). We’re trying to settle on the best angle to fix the shooter to our robot…considering 40 degrees. Looking for any input before committing. Thanks!

angle of 45 degrees is good since it will go far

You could try tinkering with some of the trajectory calculators on here :slight_smile:

Making a 2 position shooter using pneumatics can be a nice way to get close and far shots without complicated code.

That’s a great idea, thanks! Definitely more attainable within our current scope.
