Work completed

• Reduced shooter speed (from 99 ft/sec to 89 ft/sec)
• Reworked hood for .75" of compression
• Moved flywheel and gearbox locations (< .125") to match belt lengths
• Changed flywheel shaft to be an 8mm keyed shaft in order to put a double 12T pulley onto the shaft.

Things for the future

• Will probably use a two-position hood with a piston instead of a continuously adjustable hood

Bullet point 4 was a step backward, the flywheel shaft will be changed to .500" hex and the 12T double pulley will be changed to an 18T 15mm pulley. 

• Determine which wheels to test and put them on the BOM along with other needed parts that aren't already in the shop!
• Finish resolving problems with the shooter being
  • Location of the flywheel
  • Location of the Gearbox (which depends on belt length)
    • Change outer plate mounting (because of second stage pulley changing from 30T to 36T)
• CAD in parts that will allow the hood's angle and compression to be manually adjusted. 
• CAD steering motor location
• Add more mounting points for the hood and wheel mount to deal with stress from when the ball enters the shooter.
