If you have a working hoodbot that is using a 24t roller instead of a flywheel to score, what is the RPM of that roller so that it works for your robot?
- 2100+
- 1800+
- 1500+
- 1200+
- 900+
- 600+

anywhere in the range of 600-1200 is probably best, depending on the shape of your hood and the size of your roller. Iām using a 30t roller at around 1100 rpm, but my hood shape means I need more launch speed for the balls to arc properly. if you have a hood that is more of a flap at the top, lower speeds work too.

exactly. if your roller has a greater diameter, it can be slower but still index balls really fast. On the other hand, if the roller has a small diameter, it probably needs to spin faster to index balls at a similar speed
