I'm also interested in what y'all use to shoot the ball. In some parts of the video you can see some aluminum tubing extend out, but what actuates it?

It's a linear plunger powered by surgical tubing (see attachment, though the design as slightly changed since this screenshot). The dark transparent part is approximately where the surgical tubing attaches and the winch at the end pulls the 1x1 back via a ratchet strap. To release, the pneumatic disengages a ball shifter.
