Our team made 2 diffrent shooters this year one was a wide belt design using really heavy pulleys and the other was a single axle shooter. Interia will only help you so much, you need the power to bring your wheel up to speed faster. Compression of the ball or object your shooting was a great variable as well but once again there is a limit on that as well. We ended up going with a custom wheel that was 3 seperate pieces and effectly built our fly wheel into the middle of the wheel powered by 3 rs 550's. I think we determined that for us, at least for this game, a single wheel rather then double wheel is much more effective.
