That wasn't what I was thinking of, but something like that might work even better.

The robot I was thinking of had a rotating boot, and there was some kind of a cam and latex tube arrangement to give extra ooomph to the downward swing. But the more I think of it, the less suitable I think it might be. This year's kicker would be a pendulum, not a circular motion.

And it wasn't 1523's either, but it must have been somewhere in the South because I recall a video shot outdoors.
