Change Up Flywheel V1
Pros and Cons
-
Pros:
-
The flywheel unit uses two standard 200 rpm motor to launch the balls into the posts
-
The tray power unit has a 10:1 gear ratio which, with the hood, shoots the balls
-
High strength axle is used to make sure axle doesn't bend when motors suddenly stop providing power
-
Power is evenly split between both sides of the flywheel
-
Grip mat is wrapped around the wheel to add more friction between the ball and the hood to launch it further.

Cons:

-
An extra motor is wasted since this action can be done with simply one motor.
-
The startup to reach max speed took a long time
