Each shooter wheel was direct driven by a CIM, they used a Alumnium wheel( probably around 3 inches in diameter) with rough top tread which meant that there was a large amount of KE stored.

You can see it pretty clearly in the picture, the CIM is inside the wheel and is supported at the bottom of the steel motor casing.
