Will that be enough power to get the ball up? Due to the robot's height, we need to extend a pipe roughly 4'2" up at least 2 feet just to hit the ball, and then it's unpredictable as to where it goes. A pro of the winch/gear thing is that you get controlled speed, so you can go with either reckless flying balls or just tip the ball off more slowly.
