Re: Please help - launcher issues.

It seems that using the FIRST wheels is problematic, since they do not compress. This would distort the frisbee slightly when going through the shooter. Next the linear design can also be imparting only a little of the momentum, since the frisbee will only be given momentum from the wheel at a single point.
