At the beginning of the Slapshot season, our team built a lot of flywheels to score the disks, but none of them works as expected. The goal is to build our flywheel as powerful as a tornado, then we found an article introducing the physics of tornadoes. From the formula of the angular momentum, we found the key factors of the flywheel, and things started to make sense. Hopefully, this video will provide some good info for you, let us make a perfect tornado in the VEX world together.
