Best motor/gearing option to drive a shooter?

FWIW, World's record for fastest frisbee throw was 74 mph in 1988 (citation: YouTube video from Guiness Book of Worlds' Records TV show)

Note that with any no-slip one-sided design, the tip will have to be going twice as fast as the desired exit velocity, since half of the imparted velocity must go into spin. So even if we only need a 70mph launch, the shooter would need to be going 140mph.

Add in a second side, however, and that changes entirely...

Yesterday we were running our shooter at ~4000 ft/min (about 45mph). As far as we can tell there is no slip on the belt, so this should mean a frisbee exit speed of 2000 ft/min, or 22.5 mph. Shooting from ~130" from the wall and ~30" off the floor, we were able to hit a spot on the wall a foot or two below the 3pt goal (at the farthest) with excellent consistency, all within a few inches of each other. We are happy with the consistency and the shooter design, so we are working on getting it up to speed and making a few other improvements. We would like to shoot about twice as fast, for a nice level shot.

How could you tell ? Did you take video and slow it down like 2073 did ?
