We've already prototyped and scrapped a shooter that used belts. We just couldn't find a belt that we had that both a) could be run well/efficiently (i.e. timing belt) and b) had enough traction to get a good "stick" on the frisbee.
The shooter that we built had two timing belts running horizontally, and the frisbee was pushed between them. The frisbee went about two feet, and we determined that there was not enough friction between the belts and the disc.
