Re: Ball Pitcher Hood Design

for inspiration look at team 1717 and 217s shooters from 2009. Both had adjustable sheet metal hoods powered by window motors (i think) that could adjust their trajectory from about 75 to 150 degrees. while for this competition you would want something lower (maybe 40-80 degrees) the basic design would stay the same.
