Smile Hood Shooter tips

Hi CD,
So were thinking about doing a 2 wheel shooter hood like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeA2m...1&feature=plcp

It is powered by 2 fisher price motors (FP 9015) in a Cim-Sim gearbox.
There is a half inch ball compression.
We can shoot at a distance of 20 feet right now.

We made a very consistent prototype that shot 13 out of 16 shots from the key. Yeah for consistency!!!
We are worried about distance as we are hoping to be able to shoot from past the bump.

So I was wondering what could we do to increase our distance?
We were hoping to get around 25-30 feet.

Do we want more compression or less compression then a half a inch?

Would 1 wheel have more distance than 2 wheels?

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture I can probably post one tomorrow.

Thanks,
Steve
