Forklift system for shooting the ball

How effective would it be to use a forklift to shoot the ball in this year's game? Are most teams thinking of using shooters with wheels to shoot the ball?

Re: Forklift system for shooting the ball

Forklift system says to me that you have a forklift-style device that scoops up a ball, and then kicks it from behind (pneumatically?). Is this accurate? Also, to answer your second question, we are using a wheeled system to fire the basketballs.

Re: Forklift system for shooting the ball

All I can think of for a forklift system would be the elevator type (469 Logomotion comes to mind) and then perhaps just dump it into the 2nd tier hoop?

As well, as 2122, we are also using a wheeled system. When competition comes around, it may or may not end up looking something like Thunderchickens from 2006...
