We have had a little bit of trouble with our single wheeled shooter not being completely consistent. But it does ok. We have a feedback loop to control motor speed based on encoder data. We also designed it to give the ball a lot of backspin, with a relatively flat trajectory (we shoot straight at the backboard above the goal), so our distance from the goal is not critical. It works pretty well in testing with balls in highly varying condition, but we wont know how it does on the playing field with the "real" balls until a week from now in San Diego...
