Re: Shooting issues
Just to sum up the other advice from this thread and give a little more input, I'd say there are 5 main ways to improve the shooting:
1. Check your compression of the frisbee; too much or too little can vastly diminish the amount of momentum transferred to the disk from the CIMs.
2. Direct drive the wheels using the AndyMark 8mm hub or at least get the gearing near 1:1.
3. Make the surface inside the shooter and opposite the CIMs much rougher, so that energy is more efficiently transferred into making the disk shoot further. My team is using skateboard grip tape for this.
4. Make sure that bolt heads do NOT contact the disks as they exit the shooter.
5. Watch the CIMs as the disks shoot and make sure that the c-channel they're attached to isn't twisting. If it is, it's changing the amount of compression you're getting.
Good luck at competition!
