as complicated as it needs to be.
Pnuematic shooters have some definate advantages:
+ The tank can be precharged before the match starts (a wheel must be spun up before it can launch a ball)
+ a pnuematic cylinder with a release pin is much simpler to build and mount than a motor/gearbox/wheel
+ much smaller
+ much lighter
+ the pressure control is simple: the regulator valve is very accurate
+ you can cycle pnuematics really quickly.
I think we will definately see pnuematic launchers this year, in many configurations.
