We are using a spinner to "kick" the balls. Originally this was affectionately dubbed the "turtle flipper" but has since been renamed "the spinner of death" as we, when testing it at full strength (and not in its proper configuration) hit the ball in such a way that we almost hit one of the students in the head (he has good reflexes) and dislodged a ceiling tile.
I am not aware of any other named components on the robot, as of yet.
