Frisbee shooter

If you can get the packaging to work, CIMs direct-driving the 8" pneumatic wheels in a linear or circular shooter with some compression work great.

If the poly carbonate you are using for the shooter is flexible it may be wasting all of the compression you have tried to make.

My team used a linear design, but the properties are the same for both linear and circular designs. The key is to have as much grip/friction on the wheel and the other plate the frisbee is riding on. With these two points of contact, the frisbee will get a good spin=longer distance and higher rise. Another main thing that you will want to focus on is the compression. The compression determines the friction between the two points of contact on the frisbee. My team never got our compression perfect, but after some trial and error, you will get it right. One last key is to have the frisbee travel through the shooter will little to no friction, this is to keep the spin and speed constant throughout the shot for an accurate ending location (use a material like delrin).

our offseason is this saturday, maybe we could ask for pneumatic wheels to a team close to us.
we are going to try changing the fence from acrylic to wood
