Re: Frisbee shooter

You need compression on the frisbee to transfer enough kinetic energy to it. Some of the 3M grip tape or other friction material will be useful on the wall. For the wheel, the BaneBot, pneumatic, and AndyMark hi-traction kit of part wheels worked well.

You can make a very effective shooter out of plywood. The hard part is indexing your discs so that you don't jam the shooter.
