It all depends on what you want to do. I could see a kick done right be able to score in the high goal. What you may want to consider when testing is the travel path of the ball. Do you want to have a longer shot with not such a high arc or do you want a big arc with not much distance? The kicker could get you a further distance with good floor passing ability. But you couldn't make a reasonable pass over the truss. With the catapult toy can get the right arc and be able to launch wirh a limited distance (depends on the setup and what you want out of it) but it would have poor floor passing do to the arc you will get. Overall you should test both shooting mechanisms and see which best fits your priorities.
