SECOND shots

Our second generation prototype shooter accuracy is right on the money, 10 for 10. Now programming has to live up to the talents of the mechanical sub-team.
FIRST shots

It works well with both new balls and severely damaged balls. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference in the ballistic characteristics of old torn-up balls vs new balls.
This new version shooter doesn't leave a mark on the balls at all, as opposed to the original model that was able to strip the coating off the balls after a hundred shots or so.
