I also question why a speed differential is needed. Why not just impart as much energy as you can with each wheel? We're not looking to maximize efficiency here, just fire discs as fast as possible. What is wrong if the first wheel got the disc to near full speed, then the second wheel doesn't have to do much more.

By that logic why would you need a second wheel if you're attempting to impart as much energy as possible with the first wheel? As stated, the idea behind the two wheel shooter is because of the contact time between discs and wheels. If you use the first wheel to accelerate the disc and the second to propel the disc, you get comparable results to a circular shooter.
