What are the advantages to various launchers

Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. - Ben Piecuch [more]

Has anyone done any math or prototype testing yet in regards to the validity of this particular design?

Chances are that using a design similar to 2012 won't work. With a 24in ball you wouldn't be able to get it far with one point of contact.
