My team hasn't done as much testing as it sounds like many teams here have, but so far we've probably fired some of our poof balls through our shooter as many as 20 times, and none of them seem damaged at all (although we haven't actually inspected them in detail).

We are using a two-wheeled baseball shooter approach, with the two wheels on the same side of the ball. The shooter is operated just like a one-wheel design, but there are two of them, with a short spacer in between. We are using the kitbot 8" Skyway wheels.
