4) what gear ratio

5) what motor voltage, current, and speed ?

6) how much compression ?

7) did you have a cover to prevent axial motion of the frisbee as it is being spun by the wheel ?

8) quantify what you mean by "sad results"

I meant 2010 wheels, actually.

1) Linear
2) One
3) CIM
4) Both 1:2.375 and 1:1
5) Don't have the means to check most of those, but it was hooked up directly to a battery and the battery voltage was about 12.75 V
6) Probably around 1/2"
7) No
8) About 15 feet with a max height of around 6/7 feet, or up to 25 feet with a max height of about 4 feet. Can't seem to get a good distance and good height at the same time. Also, it seems to be going rather slow compared to other teams shooters (meaning the velocity of the frisbee as it leaves)
