It's probably for an optical encoder. It counts the wheel rotations based on how many times it sees the black and white circle as it spins. You can closely control shooter speed with it. Our shooter has one broken into four parts and an encoder you probably use in conjunction with your drivetrain is similar, just much smaller.
