I don't think so, if you watch the second video it looks like there's some curve to it.

In our testing with a linear shooter, we found that one wheel actually produced a more stable flight than a two wheel linear shooter.

We don't have an encoder on it yet, so I don't know the RPM, but in these shots it's running the CIM at about 90% power, direct drive onto the pneumatic wheel.

No it's about 90 degree curve.
