I think 67's curve really seems to help their FCS ability and I wouldn't make an effort to eliminate it. However, for those of you reading this thread looking to copy 67's shooter but without the curve, I thought I'd share a tip. We built a somewhat similar shooter this year (multiple orange Banebots on a linear shooter, hitting about 40-45 feet with two of them) and had a similar curve to 67 near the end of our trajectory. We found that for us, the best solution was to constrain the frisbee as much as possible in the shooter. While a 2" opening would often result in a frisbee that veered in one direction after about the 25 foot mark, a smaller opening constrained with smooth plastic (especially on the side with the wheels) would always go perfectly straight.

I really admire the 67 robot this year. I think it's a design strategy a lot of teams attempted in various ways, but few could execute so well. I wish we were smart enough to come up with some of their design details in season, but I highly doubt we could have executed like they have.
