Heck yea, we're doing a shooter too. I prototyped a successful launcher yesterday that went 8 feet, and the students are almost done prototyping a shooter today. Combine it with a turret and camera and you're golden -- they key is the type of shooter. Get creative, you don't have to use flywheel style...

We're not using a hopper though. Our overall game strategy dictates that we won't have the time to collect large amounts of moonrocks, so we'll fire what we get almost as soon as we get it. We'll have a max of 6 moonrocks in our bot at once, and probably then only at the start. This is for simplicity's sake though...
