A lot has changed in the last six days... I hypothesized last week that the balls would behave chaotically when launched from a one-wheeled launcher. Since the balls were going to get gripped in slightly different attitudes, and might expand differently as they come off the launching wheel, I thought they would tend to scatter. After empircal testing of four launching systems, we have found that even the humble one-wheel launcher puts them in the pretty much the same place time after time. It seems like the slow rebound of the viscoelastic-ish foam doesn cause the same problems I thought we might get from a ball with more bounciness.
