2. Extended acceleration period

3. Shoot it hard with a lot of backspin

You forgot #4 Fling-A-Pult originated by 3940 and used by 292, 829 and 217

What exactly differentiates a Fling-A-Pult from a catapult? It's just something I don't have experience with and haven't personally seen this season. After just watching a couple of 829's matches, it seemed like a pretty consistent shot. More details/pictures of your Fling-A-Pult would be helpful.

PID in the Jaguar works well. It would consistently recover in about 0.5 seconds after a shot. See attached graph for details.

Looks like another great way to deal with ball inconsistency. Consider it added to my list!
