Today we mainly focused on the shooter. We increased the compression and moved the rails outward to provide better guiding. We then did a precision test from about 18 ft back from a wall shooting to a target on wall 10ft high. We were able to hit a box about the size of the inner goal (12") consistently. Over time the prototype would drift to the left slightly but stay consistent. We believe it's probably due to some issue with the prototype construction. So far, our tests have answered most of our questions. The remaining one is to see if we have the range to shoot from behind the dj station consistently. So far it definitely seems doable but we probably need more RPMs to do so. We also started an indexer (conveyor belt) prototype and are waiting on printing more hubs for some stealth wheels.
