To allow for more contact time with the frisbee so the acceleration can be distributed over 2 wheels instead of just 1, to minimize slipping and improve final exit speed and consistency.

Lots of discussion going on about this in this thread, and other threads.

This is our prototype 1 wheel shooter. We made a 2-wheel shooter but the video we have of it is poor in quality. We will post a new video of the 2-wheel in the very near future.

Here is the video anyways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYpbyVbMbD8

If you wanted a long time for contact in a linear shooter couldn't you use a belt instead of a wheel?

This was mentioned in post #10, and also here.

Theoretically yes, but practically no. A few people have tried it and had serious issues with it.
