Now im sure 67 has already thought about this, but im just curious
We have thought of this. The ball will be shot, out of the wheels, at slightly higher than 12m/s. However, gravity and the drag of the arc will slow it down to 12m/s by the time the ball leaves the arc, which is when it leaves the robot.
