Re: Fishing Rod for our Launcher

I saw a couple of teams try that approach in "Breakaway", using a V-shaped apparatus to try and launch a hanging hook onto the tower. Many found that they had significant control issues when they released the poles, since they would tend to twist when they were released. I would guess the size and weight of a basketball would magnify that issue.
