We are using 4 strands of polycord on the ball lifter and 5 entrapption stars at the bottom. Here is a test video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEJdL5qK4KI
Since that video was recorded we have added 2 lexan plates at the bottom to center the ball when it gets to the polycord.

When the software is tweaked and tested we should be able to get 3 pointers from the middle of the field or farther.
