Re: Frisbee shooter

Probably most important is what resources do you have to build your shooter in 10 days with? If you could post a picture of your previous linear shooter and current shooter that would be great! What wheels do you have or have tried in the past? What gearboxes do you have sitting around your shop?

Our linear shooter was three bag motors through 1:1 versa planetaries with 2 7/8in banebots wheels. Opposite our shooter was a wall covered in wedgetop tread and compressed the discs about 1/2in. We noticed a huge difference in our shoot distance/consistency when we added more compression.
