1) There's a lot of wobble in the shooter wheel. Is that due to the motor mounting, or the wheel itself?

The wheel is only attached to the motor shaft via a hub. The motor is mounted to a plywood sheet with a couple if screws and a stack of washers is used to fine tune the height of the wheel. This is not a really solid mounting method, thus it allows a small amount of wobble. Additionally, there is some silver "Sharpie" markings around the rim of the wheel that add to the appearance of the wobbling.
We did see the climb up on the shot you mentioned.
We will be testing to see if that occurs regularly, or just by not inserting the Frisbee to the shooter correctly.
This is also one of the reasons we are looking into a top plate(s).
