Re: How to get the ball over the overpass!?

We're thinking about a slingshot type design by collecting the trackball into a disc/ring which would shoot the ball over the overpass using the surgical rubber bands in the KOP. We already tried a prototype and it has enough force to get it over 6.5 ft, from the ground. The trick at this point is getting it to fit in the 28" by 38" restriction, but we have some ideas.

Unless of course the guys who want to just make a small car-type robot win the vote on game strategy. Not over my dead body.
