Re: Prototype Small Wheeled Shooter

Thanks for all the discussion!

New shooter last night. Slow wheel is a CIM with a 2.5" soft neoprene wheel (1:1). Fast wheel is a mini-CIM with a 4" soft neoprene wheel (1:1). Compression and the spacing between the wheels are not optimized yet. We've ordered a taller 4" wheel and installing a top shield as the frisbee is definitely rising as it goes through. While we don't have the rotational speed that some teams are getting we managed a 53" distance (parallel to the floor start) before optimization.
