This Is The Most Consistent Flywheel Shooter (According to Data)

Join the community & access exclusive robotics resources ⤵️ https://shop.broganpratt.com/ Want to work with me and get support on your project? ⤵️ https://cal.com/brogan-pratt-a4gcx7 Summary ⤵️ I decided to run an experiment to find out which common flywheel shooter type is inherently the most consistent, or if one is. I built three common designs: a single flywheel with a backplate, a dual horizontal flywheel, and a dual vertical flywheel. By keeping mostly~ everything else the same, the motors, the balls, RPM, compression, I was able to test which geometry gives the most repeatable shots. In this video, I break down the experiment, show you the data, and reveal which design is the best starting point for your next project. This could save you a ton of time and help you build a more competitive robot.

Why Watch? If this is your first view—hi, I’m Brogan! TLDR: I've been teaching robotics and design for over ten years. Today, lots of people talk about robotics but I’ve noticed that very few have practical, real world ways of teaching people to create their own robots. So this channel is me chiming in and showing you what it really takes to build your own. Hopefully I can help you improve your projects and robots, and in doing so, the rest of your life 🙏 Like, subscribe, and leave me a comment if you have a specific request! Thanks.
