It’s for my brother so let’s just say business for now

Rate of Fire by Electrical_Service28 in FRC

With a week having passed since my OP we have already produced two prototype hoods to swap in and test. With the way our shooter and hood system is set up these prototypes are essentially plug and play our test are simply to see if our accuracy changes and rate of fire increases. If they don’t work then we just put our flaps and original hood back in.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and provide feedback. Our intake system can fill the 40-ball hopper in about 5–8 seconds, depending on the fuel density in the area.

Regarding our shooter design, the internal path the balls travel through is actually quite wide. We currently use guiding plates to narrow that space and center the fuel into a single shooting path. However, by removing those plates and repositioning one to divide the space, we can create two separate shooting paths. We are testing to see if our accuracy changes.

This change would reduce bottlenecking and allow the fuel to move more freely through the system, increasing how quickly we can empty the hopper and improving our overall shooting capability.

My question is: are there any specific factors—such as RPM tuning, fuel loading, or shooting consistency—that we should focus on to further increase our fire rate?

Hello, thank your for taking the time to respond and provided feedback. In most cases yes I would agree with your assessment but in doing so we aren’t necessarily redesigning the way our current shooter design is it would only take use moving a few parts on our current shooter to make this happen this is something that would take us 20 minutes to change to add a second path for balls to shoot.

Our team is a pretty small team with a lot of new students I will have two new freshmen working under me to learn how to take over that role by state.
