1519 has been prototyping with a two-wheel shooter of that type. (One wheel on each side of the disc.) Whether or not we end up actually using that design depends upon the accuracy we can attain with it.
We have prior experience (Aim High 2006 and Lunacy 2009) with a horizontal layout two-wheel shooter with one wheel on either side of the game piece and had pretty good success both years. In Rebound Rumble 2012 we used a single-wheel (vertical orientation) shooter because it imparts huge spin, which was helpful for shots using the backboard of the goal.
Anybody else trying a two-wheel (one on either side) frisbee shooter?
