At first we cut the wood circle and placed it exactly 11 inches away from the wheel
Then we added two polycarbonate sheets, each 1/8 in thick to the inside of the curve. So we ended up with only about 1/4 in of compression
We were wondering how changes in RPM vs compression would change the trajectory and we found that using a half dead battery, so a lower RPM, the frisbee only flew marginally less distance and was stills table. However, removing just one 1/8 in sheet of polycarbonate caused the frisbee's range to drop from 50 to about 10 feet.
We will be trying a higher angle soon, however based on other videos, including the Robot in 3 Days robot, shooting at a higher angle will still work

What wheel did you guys use? It looks like a lunacy wheel.
EDIT: I read the other posts more carefully, it's a 6" KOP wheel from this year. Sorry for not reading.
