DEWBOT's shooter is a single-wheel arc shooter pneumatically fed from a 4-frisbee magazine. The base is carbon fiber reinforced (both sides) luan plywood. The wheel is a 6" AndyMark HiGrip (am-0940) directly driven by a mini-CIM motor.

There is no speed control on the motor, which is run at 100% while shooting.
