We attempted this and did a few tests. An electric leaf blower could do it, but only if we tracked the ball on it's course (not very easy). Also, the power requirments were too great (it's only one 12V battery)
We also tried a garbage can Airzooka, but it didn't provide enough air power to reasonably and acurately push a ball, not to mention timing would be a real pain...all in all, we determined the concept was not reliable or feasible enough to merit basing a robot on it. If any other team can do this, MAJOR PROPS!!!
