Go to Post Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1 1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. - sciguy125 [more]

Re: Linear Path Shooter vs. Circular Path Shooter?

In our tests in the shop we have found that linear shooters are not as accurate as circular shooters and don't shoot as far. I hypothesise that it is because the wheel doesn't get to work on the disk as much (W=FxD) and will therefore put less energy into the disk before it is released.

Here are videos of our attempts:

they should all be on there.

You are not limited to one wheel with a linear shooter design. Watch the videos posted here.
