Absolutely, I agree! There is plenty of room for optimization in this prototype using these components. I think a great place to start is the packaging, smaller wheels may help the overall size as well.
Though this setup could theoretically serve as a final design, the point of the shooter was to help answer the practical questions while designing the final solution. Questions like what trajectories work best for long rage shots at the top goal. We tested that in a recent video seen here:

On the other hand, our final design will definitely include room for modularity and adjustability so that we can continue to iterate and improve on the design.
