When we were testing our shooter, we learned that the discs need to be fired at approximately 1 second intervals to obtain adequate consistency.
This depends entirely on the speed of the shooter and the distance from the goal. At full speed, the shots were relatively consistent for short-medium range. At 35%, we needed to wait ~3 seconds between shots for them to be accurate from behind the pyramid into the 3 point slot.
