There is no such thing as overkill
Team 1708 is going with a sort of two wheel shooting approach but not on both sides. Hope to have a picture up tonight.

I really hesitate to speculate what it will do, but the theoretical maximum ball velocity is about 88 mph and the shooter is ~1.8 horsepower worth of motor. Everyone on the team can't help but grin or giggle when we talk about it, because it is absolutely silly and the very definition of overkill.
It's going to be something...
