I personally like this.
Our shooter was very similar to 3997, We did try to see how far we could shoot after Champs and when we ramped it up the wheel was going so fast it just never caught the Frisbee and went less distance then at 40%. It went only 5 feet maybe. Going slower (80%, 90%) didn't really help us very much either.This is why most full court Shooters either use different wheels other than pneumatic or have to wheels one to speed the Frisbee up into the second.
Here is a look at our shooter we never took video of trying to FCS.
