You can also make a robot with a very low center of gravity that will make your robot handle much better for the high speed cornering part.
I am overeager to build a shooter as well but it may be a little harder than you may think. The math is killer. It takes a lot of force to get the ball in the air, and even more if your using stuff like punching pneumatics.
