Re: Firing Softballs
From my personal experience with shooting racquetballs(15+ feet) you would need to use multiple motors (i used 3) and also some wheels with very little mass (I used omnis). If I were you I would do a bit of experimentation but remember getting hit with a softball hurts like a ***** 
P.S. stock up on gear kits to shoot a racquetball, I used 1:49 ratio (its really awesome to hear 4 omni wheels spinning a 4000+ rpm)
