Flywheels are the mechanisms that provide controlled, repeatable energy to launch game pieces in shooting-type FRC robots. Understanding the basic concepts behind flywheel design helps team members think about accuracy, shot consistency, and how energy transfer affects scoring performance during a match.
This test focuses on the core ideas behind FRC flywheel mechanisms: how flywheels store and release energy, how compression and contact duration influence shot quality, and how design choices affect repeatability, recovery time, and overall shooting strategy.
If you are familiar with basic FRC robot systems, this test should take about 5–10 minutes to complete.
