Re: Please help - launcher issues.

slipping is a problem with those wheels we made a arc shooter with just a single wheel the wheel was directly connected to a CIM. when the frisbee went through it scuffed the frisbee and the wheel was shedding thin rubber strips. a wheel with better traction and a a wall that is slippery should work fine don't use a placation wheel as the tread around it will fly off and possibly hit someone like that almost happened to us

You don't want a slippery wall.

If the bee slips on the wall, you won't get the spin you need for accurate and consistent shooting.
