360 Degree, Rotating post launcher

[purduephotog]

I have this idea....

So the paper model isn't the best, and I'm having trouble deciding how best to support the inner ring since I would expect a 1cm gap between the slick material and the rotating post.

Also the outer edges are rubber to increase traction. The unit is fed through the bottom (probable piston) and exits the top. The exit chute is angled slightly (which may be cut down depending on the effect of spin).

I originally was envisioning the unit as about 4 Frisbee thick (A new official unit?), in order to accommodate an unsupported inner gap from flexing. Obviously if the material is stiff enough it won't deflect under loading. Some sort of iso-beam bottom would suffice for that, so long as the outer rim is secure enough.

With a full 360 degrees of rotation to accelerate the Frisbee I've got to imagine this would be even more efficient and accurate than the 180 degree shooter.

Elevation and rotation can be centered about the rear axis.

Unfortunately I've exhausted my drawing capability. I failed stick art 101.
