As brand new Mindstorm users, we are trying to solve challenge #3 for the Inventorbot with our new Mindstorm set. This is the challenge to throw an object. As configured, the speed of the engine is not enough to actually throw a item (we're using a pingpong ball), but merely moves the arm up in the air and the ball rolls down the arm. We tried making a longer arm and that did not help.
Is there something that we are doing wrong, or is this the extent of how well the challenge cn be solved?
Thanks, Biff
