This! flip the motors and run both on full, you might need to turn the speed down a bit if there's too much slippage the wheels will just do burnouts on the disk.

The wood probably added some much needed support. Shooter really need to be rigid, or the force will transfer to the robot instead of the frisbee.

In our 90 degree shooter(different beast), we found that using double sided tape with different thickness sheet metal/polycarb/traction material was an excellent way to tweak the compression/friction to see what gives the best the distance/accuracy.
