Re: 2 wheels vs 1 wheel in a linear shooter
Our understanding is the additional contact time results in higher speed.
With one wheel, the frisbee just touches the wheel for a fraction of a second. Two wheels allow for a preliminary speed-up followed by a final acceleration and fly-out of the shooter.
A circular pathway shooter allows vast amounts of contact but has its own flaws. It seems like the linear shooter compensates for this lack of contact by having two wheels.
