If you had you shooter wheels directly attached to the output of the gearbox, I could see the side loads from the discs being shot effecting the motor.

I have a feeling that that may actually be the problem, though it seems unlikely. When a frisbee is being shot, it will put a force on the wheel, causing the motor to be sideloaded. That was partially our design, because the compression in the disks helps push them get accelerated better!

Anyways, I (and many others) are done with talking about THIS bag motor failure!
