[image] Over the weekend we competed at the BC Fall Qualifier at Fraser Heights with a double shooter design and got some pretty good scores during the final matches with our alliance 2R. (One shooter was sufficient for our match though) [Vex NBN 292 Poin…

Do you adjust the power or angle of the shooter for closer shots, or is it the same for both of the position you shoot from?

[image] TriDragon: Yes, I mis-spoke. I said preloads and I meant driver control (24 balls) loads, but we all probably know that. Also, the 10-12s was for one robot. I mis-understood what the team told me. One issue in having two teams fire off 12 each in 6s is that some hit mid-air and bring do…

[image] Angeli: We use 4 motors total. There’s a possibility of going as quick as 24 balls in 11 seconds with a double shooter. I doubt it’s necessary for both alliances to do preloads. Interesting, thanks for the reply. I can definitely think of some huge advantages in having a two motor la…

Byte Me Robotics: Would I be correct to say that 2R is using turbo motors on their base? We’re using high speed motors on ours, and its wonderfully fast, but not as insanely fast as 2R’s. (High speed motors are our limit, as our robot is somewhat large and heavy) 2R’s motors are on high spee…

Kevin Boenisch: Do you adjust the power or angle of the shooter for closer shots, or is it the same for both of the position you shoot from? 2Z changes just the power of the shot, not the angle for mid field shots.

On 2R’s robot, how do you guys manage to feed the ball to the flywheel? Could you guys post a picture or is there also going to be a separate reveal later for them? Thank you.

Stanley Shi(7793R): The flywheel is fed using a conveyor like any other robot. There isn’t going to be a reveal, sorry about that. http://client-gallery.imgix.net/images/derivation/563ede05b21878496f5c0f83/46fb4494-aab9-4d66-b854-2095f48dffef.jpg?fm=jpg&dpr=1&sharp=15&con=3&w=1500&ixlib=js-0.2…
