Discrepancies in wheel inflation/material necessitated that they offset the speed of one, and consequently introduced a need to change the final shooter direction - at least, that's how I'm reading it. No matter how well you gear it - to say nothing of the difficulty of such a setup - there's going to be enough leeway in the wheels themselves, let alone the leeway given by the gears and sprockets to introduce significant error into the equation.
