Personally, I think the most reliable design for a shooter is one or two wheels (heavy for high momentum) on either side of the ball (horizontally). The wheels will align the ball as it feeds and the forces are balanced on either side to prevent spin.
In terms of motors, the big CIMs have been allocated to DT, so it looks like an old CIM for the shooter.
Any comments?
