Top wheel is mounted slightly to left of center. Velocity is running over 30 fps and is flying flat and stable. Probably going to have to make some hefty guards for the fast spinning wheels in case of failure.

WOW! That is a great shooter! Very interesting design. I never thought of mounting the well above the frisbee before!

My team is shooting consistently at 60ft away. We are planning on shooting full court, but we don't have to if we are blocked.
