Currently we have a three wheeled linear powered by RS550s (the small bane bots wheels). The need for robustness as a result of frisbee recoil came as a result of our original 90 degree shooter prototype that could rocket frisbees well beyond full court. The recoil of that shot was sliding back the table that it was mounted to. Later we decided that the full court shot was not necessary (way too easy to block) and went to a slimmer pyramid shooter. The angle adjustment screw was engineered for the 90 degree shooter and it didn't hurt to keep it the same for our smaller new shooter.

How is the recoil on your shot/how far are you shooting?
