In addition to this, you may want to think about how you will deal with jams. The frisbees coming out of the feeder slots tend to fall more straight down than in a "flat" format, plus if you put this shooter on an angle, it may be even harder for the human to load. What this may mean is that dropping the frisbee in your cylinder on top could result in the frisbee getting stuck vertically, and that could mean the end of your ability to shoot and/or load any more. And because the humans basically have to break contact with the frisbee as it slides
through the feeder slots, there is no way to "push" or "free" frisbees stuck in your robot.
But the good news is that your general shooting design should work. The
Robotin3Days guys used a similar style shooter.
