[image] My idea is a little iffy but most teams that I’ve seen on videos on have similar ideas soooo, I don’t really know

I had this idea as well, but its probably not necessary.

this may just be me, but I’ve been working on a puncherfor the past couple of weeks. it’s pretty effective actually.

So far, it seems like flat flywheel guns will be more popular than vertical ones. Mark Rober seems to think a quarter turn hood (90*) with a single flywheel is the best in terms of flywheel guns, as compared to a no turn or a half turn (180*) single flywheel hood or any double flywheel mechanism. …

My team is planning on testing various different methods, including several different versions of flywheels. But although I have yet to test them, I feel flywheels are going to be the best method for yeeting pancakes.

we were trying this actually like a couple of days ago, shooting 3 disks requires a lot of force that one torque motor struggles to handle with the correct amount of rubber banding, I’d still attempt to see if you can get further but, we are personally sticking with a angle changing puncher

no flex wheel [spin up launcher]

isn’t that too much spin on the disk? When the disk hit the wall, it just flew out meters. Just an observation.

Yeah it’s moving pretty good. Simply showing that flex wheel not required for launching.

[image] 1422_WI: One design that appears to be solely mine is a catapult or puncher that throws a stack of 3 discs. This would reduce the launch period of a robot, which not only allows the driver to intake more discs sooner, but reduces the period where a robot is vulnerable to pushing. However…

I think a very critical detail to note when designing flywheels for this game is that these discs are not frisbees (or balls)

I just wanna know what ideas people have come up with for shooting discs into the high goal

No. At a flat angle the discs can, not and will not act like frisbees.
