Re: Are any teams planning on shooting the ball?

We have a motor powered launcher.
It's basically one of the ever popular chain-driven elevated arms, but on steriods. And those steroid... they're on steroids too.

Due to what I'm assuming was a lack of decent squishy objects, our catapult's positive stop is currently cushioned with pink pencil erasers and duct tape.

During testing today, we could consistenly put the ball ~2 feet over the overpass.
