Time to think outside the box, but inside the cylinder.

Why does it have to be an arm? Why does it have to be a rotational joint? You can translate infinitely high. Why do you need something besides your robot's forward velocity to impart lateral motion to the ball? Forward initial velocity plus vertical force equals a trajectory.
