Re: What kind of shooter is your team using?
 

Our team is currently prototyping both a linear and curved shooter.
We posted a video on YouTube:

Very informative video! Hopefully our pneumatic wheels will be here by Thursday so we can get to making either a linear or a curved shooter mike yours.

Re: What kind of shooter is your team using?
 

One wheeled linear shooter with a pneumatic wheel driven by a CIM. It will easily hit the highest target at 15ft from about 2ft off the ground (around 22 degrees up). It will knock your teeth out too. The keys are proper wheel speed and frisbee compression.

We also prototyped a few iterations of the curved (90 degree) shooter with varying levels of success. Today we finally got a our andymark order in, so we received our pneumatic wheels. Our best prototype uses the 8inch pneumatic wheel direct drive into a cim at full speed, with a lexan bottom and top (to keep the Frisbees from popping up), and a strip of aluminum as a curved rail with tread taped to it.

With this setup we achieved shoots of 50ft and greater, with the angle around 45 degrees and the shooter around 3-4ft in the air on a table. we were very pleased with setup and will be doing further modifications to improve accuracy!

p.s. dont get discouraged if your shooter isn't achieving the range or accuracy you want even though it mirrors a set up in a youtube video, as we have learned, "if at first you dont succeed, try again!" Good luck all!
