Cyber Blue threw out the
FIRST (LOL) pitch at an Indianapolis Indians game last August (Minor League Team). The media coverage was excellent, with local news and the local newspaper.
Let me know if you want any details of our design. We used 4 CIMs powering two pneumatic tires and had speed control to dial it in.
Remember that pitchers mound is higher than home plate, so you have to adjust for the elevation differences.
And, find out who will be catching the pitch. We had capability of about 90 MPH, but knew that the mascot, Rowdie, would be catching. Rowdie has very limited visibility and movement, so we slowed the pitch down to about 60 MPH so he could see it and catch it.
Here is a picture of "Lefty".
