Re: ball cannon???

For those of you who are relatively new to FIRST, in 2006 there was a game "Aim High" where we were asked to launch 7" poof balls into a vertical target eight feet off the floor. Many teams used a modified softball pitching machine design for their robots, with moderate to high success. Although the geometries of the poof balls and the orbit balls are quite different, this could be a possible strategy to revisit.
