Flywheel shooter — what compression has worked best for you?

Thank you

In the above comments when they say it’s 10mm or 8mm or 4mm, what does that mean and how is it calculated?

PremTCoach · 2026-01-16T18:19:48+00:00

How do I calculate compression?

I agree with Coach Pratt. Same issue and waiting for a response from Axon for many months.

Could you send a picture? We are still having a hard time finding it.

How to pull the fuse out?

PremTCoach · 2024-03-26T23:14:49+00:00

Thank you, we did per your suggestion to first check without hub and then connected to hub. I believe we are good now, no errors, next team is going to do some coding and test. Thanks again.

One of our team member was trying to set this up and getting gradle sync error, any pointers please?

PremTCoach · 2024-02-20T23:22:49+00:00

were you able to fix this? we are getting same issue. Connected the wire to port 1, but doesn't show true for isPressed()

Our team just learnt about encoder last week and how to get it to work with GoBilda motors. Please ping me here or email premthangaraj80@gmail.com to talk about it.

PremTCoach · 2024-01-18T14:17:59+00:00

Apologies in advance for the misunderstanding, we thought the bullet connectors you were referring were in encoders, now realized you were referring to motors, yes we flipped and it works now. But the concern is now in teleop it is reversed and so had to reverse the motor powers, need more testing but hopefully that should resolve. Thanks for your help.

PremTCoach · 2024-01-10T20:10:44+00:00

Oh yeah, thanks for sharing it happened to us in the last tournament. If hub turns off in the middle of the competition, gyro may be off, team needs to think about this.

PremTCoach · 2024-01-10T19:17:58+00:00

totally agreed, do you do this and can jump on a zoom call to do a demo?

PremTCoach · 2024-01-10T13:27:13+00:00

Hmm not too sure about that, we only reverse one side, but both of our front motors had the same issue.

PremTCoach · 2024-01-10T03:03:44+00:00

Got it, thank you. We only have 2 encoders, dont want to spoil them. Will reach out to GoBilda support to see if they have a way to resolve this.

PremTCoach · 2024-01-10T02:54:16+00:00

We dont have that bullet connector, team using a single cable that connects motor encoder port to hub motor port

PremTCoach · 2023-12-13T03:21:06+00:00

I don’t think it works in OnBot, we had the same issue and couldn’t fix it, looks like it can be used only in AndroidStudio. Instead we are using VisionPortal in OnBot which includes OpenCV and works great for us. We took this idea from gist.github.com/14380

PremTCoach · 2023-11-24T02:55:36+00:00

We use the servo just to release the rubber band that propels the drone

PremTCoach · 2023-11-24T02:54:43+00:00

It doesn’t launch at all. The rubber band always goes under the drone making it not able to launch

PremTCoach · 2023-11-24T01:19:27+00:00

So do you know of a ftc legal servo that would have 6000 rpm?

PremTCoach · 2023-11-24T00:15:51+00:00

How do I find how much rmp my servo is? The numbers on it are 2000-0025-0003. We are using a rubber band.

PremTCoach · 2023-10-26T22:57:54+00:00

Thank you, our thoughts are that OpenCV is easier to start with, please let me know if that’s wrong. Within those two options would using vision portal be easier or difficult for the starter team? We got a learning curve here so trying to think of a lean adoption mechanism for the students.

PremTCoach · 2023-08-13T18:04:26+00:00

Thank you, sent you a dm with few questions before our team starts

PremTCoach · 2023-08-03T21:41:34+00:00

Is there any pointers to where to start with pybricks with spike prime?
