Considering the speeds and torques the 2012 motors ran out, it boggles me that the yoga balls could be fired with significant speed. Allen, do you have any resources pertaining to the deeper physics involved with shooters?
The Poofs do a great job of explaining their development process each year. Their build blog and technical binder are available on their website.

One suggestion is to go back and read some of the early season threads from previous shooter games. Each year we as a community learn a bit more.
2013 small wheel linear shooter design
for example.

Another suggestion is the behind the design series. The 2006 book is getting hard to find but it's a great read.

The Fighting Pi posted some great Behind the Design articles for a variety of awesome 2012 robots.
