How does your robot hurdle?

In addition to running around the track or herding, does your team plan on hurdling the ball? How?
We went with a quick pivot arm that grabs the ball from the ground, holds it on our bot, runs around the track, then lifts and hurdles the ball. Next, repeat steps all over again.
We also have the ability to knock balls off the overpass and place them at the end of matches also.

I have seen a lot of shooters/catapults which seem more effective. However, I am curious as to how they will place or remove balls from the overpass.
