Re: Best Way to Shoot the Balls??
the laws of physics say that any way you use to transfer energy to your shooter is going to take some time to get the necessary energy transferred to it for the first shot, and then to spool-up again for the repeated shots

something to keep in mind. Its easy to see with something like pneumatics, where the pressure has to be resupplied, and less obvious with something like a baseball (wheel based) launcher. It will slow down after a ball is fired, and will take a specific amount of time to get back up to launch-speed.
