Good question, I'm not entirely sure. Though I do know a few factors that led up to the design. For example, the linear shooter (one cim, two sets of wheels on one side to get some ball spin) seemed the most promising design during prototyping, we wanted the harvester and shooter to be separate mechanisms and face opposite sides, and we wanted the release point of the ball not to be too low. So from there we came up with a linear shooter assembly on an arm.
