Motors for ball launchers

I was just wondering how (if you're willing to say) other teams are thinking about shooting balls to the center goal. We are leaning to a baseball shooter type machine (2 spinning wheels). We're trying to pick the main motors, and will most likely use the new mini-bike motor. It seems to draw less power, and have a pretty decent amount of force. That type of shooter would also allow for a fairly rapid succession of shots. Is anyone thinking of any other kind like pneumatic, catapult, or something I can't think of?
