jasoni is an unknown quantity at this point
If anyone remembers back to the P&G Sunny Delight machine, you'll notice that robot didn't use a friction wheel. It had a thrower arm, I believe it was spring loaded, much like a catapult. With a mechanism like that, neither ball surface, ball roundness, ball size, nor battery voltage will have a noticeable effect on the trajectory.

Just a thought.
