Non-vision Cricket board- Capped at 13.7, no eye
Vision board- Capped at 20, pitiful eye logic
KM2 Genesis Board- no eye system, comparable speed, no debounce settings, etc.
-Absurd ROF
-ACE system
-Solution to shoot-down and FSDO
-Debounce, etc. settings
Weaknesses:
-Trigger Programming (Takes some getting used to, but easy to memorize)
Review:
I will begin by thanking Wicked Air Sportz. This board is the savior of Impulses. Without this board, I would have sold mine and upgraded to a Timmy. This board can take the bare-bones non-vision Impulse, and convert it into a paint-slinging monster.
Some people may complain about the price, but then again, look at what you compare it to. The Vision sister board for the Cricket sells for $150. All you get there is a very finicky and limited eye. For the same cost, the WAS board gives you a FSDO solution, maximum ROF capabilities, as well as other settings for fine-tuning your marker.
The WAS board has settings for Dwell, Debounce (never before available to Impulse users), 4 different eye modes, Ball In Place Delay, ROF cap (for eye mode 1), and eye sensitivity levels.
Dwell: Nothing special, except that it is adjustable in 1ms as well as 1/4ms increments
Debounce: Helps keep your marker tournament legal, no matter the trigger setup
Eye Modes: Bypass- Eye off mode, yet capped at 13 bps so that if the eye malfunctions, you won't just chew up paint and spit out soup. Eye Mode 1- ACE is set up with a ROF cap (20-30 bps adjustable) for non-reflective bolts. Eye Mode 2- for reflective bolts, the bolt positioning is monitored to maximize cycle rate. Simulate- mode that allows maximum ROF while no paint is in the marker, allowing high-speed test/dry firing.
BIP Delay: adjustable delay time so the user can set it according to the speed of their hopper
ROF Cap: For eye mode 1, allows adjustable speed settings to maximize ROF for non-reflective bolts
Eye Sensitivity: Allows user to adjust sensitivity to motion, textures, and colors. Reduces eye confusion of light with paintballs, and vice versa.
**Newer players may find the installation a bit involved, and may want to have a local airsmith do the filing on the eye slot.
Conclusion:
My marker is 100% better now that I have the WAS board. I am hitting higher speeds, with greater shot consistency than ever. That and the fact that I haven't chopped a ball in the 2 cases I've used so far, convince me that this board is as good as everyone is hyping it up to be.
