I am working on making a Lego version of an frc robot that fires Lego soccer ball pieces with a flywheel and hooded shooter. Thats where I get stuck. I have everything else built, but I can't seem to get my Lego power functions motor to be geared high enough to get it to launch more than 3 ish inches. Any ideas on how to make a quick flywheel turret with the power functions motor or another motor? Also, I have a 3d printer but no cad skills besides tinkercad and I can't figure out a turret hood design so anyone with Ideas for how to make a flywheel turret please help me. I'm desperate to get this to work. Keep in mind I would like this to be very compact.

Hey everyone! I'm entirely stuck on a project. I'm making an frc robot out of Lego based on this year's game. I plan on making it fire a Lego soccer ball piece and I want to scale the bot to that. I'm struggling to get a single wheel flywheel turret to shoot it hard enough to launch more than like 2 inches. I think part of it is compression. Any ideas on how I can make a turret similar to an frc bot that shoots about a foot or so and can be really compact. I have multiple power functions Lego motors for the project and would like to use these. To any lego builders here, please help me prototype something! Any help appreciated! Please dm me if you have pics of something you get working. I do have a 3d printer so I can use that for it but don't know cad besides tinkercad. I also have tpu if you have ideas for how it can be used.
