Thanks! Yes the consistency was a major reason for us going catapult. We also liked the appeal of being unblock-able from the outer works while still being low bar capable. Yes several teams have accomplished this other ways with tall arms. The catapult seemed like a more simple approach for our team. The range issue is a bit of a misconception in my opinion. Our catapult has a pretty large sweet spot all the way from outer works to a little before the batter.
We have also added a ball clamp to keep the ball from bouncing out when going over obstacles.
