200 mph ball kicker

I'll just go ahead and be the first one to point out 200km/h != 200mph ;-)

It would roughly be 125 mph.

Also getting that by safety may be an issue... I know the refs would be scared of missfired balls heading there way

To be fair, the translated article does say 200 mph. Either way it's still gonna turn the heads of the safety inspectors (and everyone else)....but DANG that is cool

there is no such thing as overkill

It's remarkable that the original article cites 200 km/h and 130 km/h but then Google Translate decided it was 200 mi/h and 130 km/h. I wonder how it did that - why did it choose to translate kilometer as mile, without converting, and then decided to skip "translating" the other figure. An interesting bug, maybe...

<R02B> might apply.

...If its worth doing, its worth over-doing.

I wonder what would happen if someone was standing right in front of it?

I love how you used the code not equal to rather than what most people use: =/=. You are on programming on your team, I assume?
