It's a Tri-wheel configuration that is able to get a pretty good amount of distance (20+ feet) from a relatively small package.

Video + Photos + Details are on the blog.

(This is untested with new/old balls, etc. We still have a lot of work to do before it would be on our robot. The vise will not be mounted the robot or at least we hope not. )

While I applaud your creativity, & I love the fact that you share it with the community, I have one question. From where do you expect to be able to take advantage of that shooters great distance? My understanding of the rules indicate that it is illegal to cause a ball to cross the defense without being in physical possession by a robot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
