In the end engineering is what happens between your ears, not what you build with your hands, not what a machine spits out.

A rather rough approximation of the range of the ball considering air resistance. It assumes a constant coefficient of drag, so it's not likely to be 100% accurate. It'll probably be more realistic than assuming no air resistance, however. For reference, .5 Cd is worst case for a smooth sphere,...
