similar designs were probably thought of by many, unfortunately, they must have thought "i cant figure out how to launch the ball" or "we cant fit that manipulator into the starting position" or other similar considerations. i think the most crucial part to many designs this year was a winch that allowed them to store and release the necessary energy to catapult the trackball. teams that developed this mechanism were able to utilize a simple design such as this.
