Re: pic: LAunching mechanism by FIRST

FIRST demonstrated a shooting mechanism at the 2002 kickoff, so I'm sure they intended for teams to try for long-distance scoring (and to take advantage of the retro-reflective tape on the goals). I suspect this year's height limit was a direct result of FIRST's observation in 2002 that teams wouldn't shoot balls if a simpler alternative existed.

We build a shooter in 2002. It didn't work very well.
