Make your ball shooting mechanism work the same regardless of variations in ball surface texture, squishiness, center of mass, color, temperature, dielectric constant,...

I've seen two different shooters up close. They are not at all similar. Both of them are quite repeatable in giving the ball a consistent initial trajectory. They can't account for differences in wind resistance, and a significant change in ball mass can throw them off, but otherwise they seem quite good.

The only common feature is that they throw the ball in the manner of a catapult.
