-Because the Circular Shooter design only required a single wheel to power (whereas most linear shooters use 2+), the design was just as effective when shooting, but required relatively fewer resources.

118 actually has a foam wheel linear shooter, with a small back wheel and a large front wheel:
We (3476) used a curved single-wheel shooter. Shooting speed, accuracy, and distance for the frisbees are a boon with its design.
