Re: pic: DOC V: THE RING OF FIRE

So the balls are pulled out by gravity? Conveyer to get it up there?

In this design, having any kind of launcher at the end of the bot is redundant since the pipes direct it at such a low angle.

Only problem is distance. Even at a height of 5 feet, you may be able to get a ball at max 3 - 5 feet. There is also the penalty of getting hooked onto your opponets trailer. I dont know if that was part of your stratgey but you defintately need to cut the pipes back in order to ensure that you will not get a penalty by accidentally hooking onto a trailer.
