Need some help with Polar Array geometry

There’s an infinite family of solutions if you allow both the radius of the big circle and the number of rollers to be variable. Basically, for every amount of rollers there is a single radius which works. I think you’ll have to lock down the number of rollers N, the spacing s (which I’m assuming is measured in distance units as the minimal distance between adjacent rollers, rather than angles) and the radius r of each roller. You can then express the radius R of the big circle using those three variables. Would that be ok?
