FRC3005 tested our competition robot's high shooter last night, and we were pleased with the initial results (turns out... math works!) We had calculated a release angle for an 18' shot and made a few estimates on the bundle tension to achieve that. We are adjusting our release strap to be closer to the choo-choo full extension point (without shock loading the choo-choo), which should flatten our trajectory and give us our preferred shot.
We've included a couple of our initial shots, choo-choo operation, and how to safely disengage the choo-choo.
