Re: One or Two Wheel Shooter
We're also using a one-wheeled launcher. For us, it was mostly a question of how robust and simple the design was going to be rather than a versatile complex one. The mechanism, tenatively is that single wheel, but we hope to use it not just for hurling balls into the center goal, but also harvest balls and shoot [balls] into the corner goals.

I don't know how that's going to work yet, completely. But I am pleased to know that it does NOT involve pneumatics.
