I agree with this. It appears that the turret would turn 180 degrees from its position in the CAD render and then would tip to allow frisbees to directly enter the shooter barrel from the intake. I am still puzzled as to how it can hold 4 frisbees between the intake and the shooter.

The intake is interesting, because it appears that frisbees would slide onto that plate for a few inches before contacting the roller.

Can you provide any details regarding the wheel mounted between the shooter and the frisbee hopper? Could this be part of your level 2 hanging mechanism?
