That is an interesting reason to try the wheel on the opposite side... we thought about that for the reason to trade less angular velocity for more linear.

The 3997 screaming chickens have a circular shooter that I believe could have been long range, because man that thing had some serious power at close range, low to ground feed drive, steep angle... when it scored the 3 point... it went in about 45 degrees with no hint of even coming close to leveling out... it slammed into the goal. I personally like this.
