Re: Team 4256 Shooting Mechanism

My team is using something very similiar. We really like the radial shooter design.

How do you plan on making the frisbee contact the flywheel? Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but it appears that as soon as the frisbee falls to the bottom of your hopper it contacts the flywheel.

Is there some secondary mechanism that pushes the frisbee into the flywheel? Like an air cylinder or "kicker"?

Anyways looks great!
