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)
You probably shouldn't expect great performance out of a single wheel on a linear shooter, because that ultimately means you're getting less than an inch of contact area (and thus, acceleration).
