First FIRST ball launcher?

Prototype ball launching system. Delta bench sander, Porter Cable 361 belt sander, various scrap lumber, and some drywall screws -- VIOLA! Or voila. Something like that. Anyway, the project took two hours.

The belts run at about 4mps, and the ball goes a maximum of about 4 meters. You're going to want to go for the full 12mps max velocity.
