I'd say a successful launch is from about 3 feet off the ground over the truss from a few feet away. The videos I've seen are clearly powerful shots that span a decent distance (I'd link to them but they're on facebook), but my goal is to just be able to lightly lob the ball over the truss reliably. Our tests maybe move the ball a few feet, but not enough for shot that would make it over the truss.
