I see what looks like the base of a ball (follow the arrow). I don't see a robot base either--and the base of the launcher has been blacked out.

Re: pic: 296 Teaser
Could you tell me the length of your launcher arm? I think it may be a bit long. Or it could just be the perspective of the screen shot.

Re: pic: 296 Teaser
Right now the arm is about 72 inches long. We are trying to redesign the geometry so that we are safely in the 80 in cylinder. It is pneumatically powered with the aid of surgical tubing.

Is it controlled by a converter made out of ketchup-flavored chips and back bacon?
