Then a pneumatic would lift the platform up to 45 degrees and that would put tension in the bungee. Then we release a catch and the bungee makes the ball go flying.
At some point in his presentation, I say "So it's basically a giant crossbow, right?"
Funny stuff.

that was MY design, basically a huge crossbow that tensioned bungees with a pneumatic (or 2) that flung the balls across the field. but that was before i actually picked one of the suckers up .....
