Re: Using Timing Belt Pulleys for full court shooter
Our Full Court Shooter was setup almost exactly as you desire.
For speeds we are running a AM-9015 on the first wheel with a pulley setup at 42T:12T ratio (~4500RPM). The next wheel is a Banebot 550, setup on a 30T:12T ratio (~7700RPM). The third wheel is also a 550 with a 22T:12T ratio (~10500RPM).
We used the 12T MXL timing pulleys pressed on to the motor shafts and secured with the set screws. For the wheel side, we used 1/2" hex shafts drilled and tapped for a 1/4"-20 bolt to attach the pulley to the top of the wheel shafts.
You can see a good picture of it here:

You just need to make sure you place the wheels on the right side of the shooter, so when you're shooting, the bolts in the wheel shaft want to tighten and not loosen. This positioning also helps with arcing yout shots into the 3pt goal.
If you want more information, send me a PM and I can email you more detais.
