Re: 10 Balls per second?
Team 95 was about as fast as I've seen. They were easily 10+ balls per second.

The video was played forward, and was only sped up a little bit. The rig that was used to launch those balls was made with a bench grinder and an 8" skyway wheel. HP was about the same as the 2 small CIM motors, so theoretically we could have shot 10 BPS, but didn't deem it neccesary. They were already falling out of the goal at 5-6bps.
