Re: Frisbee shooter

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).
