Tasks Completed

• Shooter Math Model

Conclusions

70 degree is the baseline angle.
Shoots a little high
Cannot accurately shoot from the mid field
It will work in many situations

65 degree angle
Requires moderate precision to shoot in each hoop from midfield and the key
All angle except the top fender will work
A great general use angle

60 degree angle
Does not require much precision to shoot in hoops from any distance
The top key and middle fender angles are very shallow
A good angle to use, but may be difficult to shoot the top key and middle fender

55 degree angle
Precision from any distance is not an issue
The top and middle fender and the top key are impossible shots
Too shallow an angle, entrance velocity may be too high for many shots, causing a rebound

To finish, the 65 degree angle is the best choice for a balance between shot velocity precision and basket entry angle.

Tasks In Progress

• Figure out turret layout
• Made sletches of turret geometry
• Plan to use chain on turret
• Discussed using pneumatics for third stage of storage for simpler hand off from storage to shooter.
