I have to say that a wheel type shooter worked really well for my team. We were stuck like many other teams out there on how to shoot the ball. Some of our team members concluded that the wheels could rip the fabric off the ball so we decided to prototype this design to see if this was true. It ended up not being true at all. We shot the ball from our wheel shooter a whole bunch of times (didn't count) and nothing on the ball was damaged. The wheels also gave the ball a great distance as well before it hit the ceiling. But the wheel shooter did work with no complications.
