Clearly, it is a Great Ball Contraption module!

It *will* fire soccer balls, but not nearly as well. The Zamor sphere
launchers can be rather... powerful. Another member of the MDP (Jutta) first
came up with the brainstorm to couple the NXT motor to the Zamor sphere launcher
to make a “full-auto sphere launcher”. I loved the idea, but half the motor
cycle was wasted... so I made a dual version with twice the fire rate and a
magazine of about 50 balls. Here’s a video of one possible “use” of this
technology - I would say there could be a Zamor attack on Moonbase here at my
house any day now... WARNING: this is just an obnoxiously large video, don’t
even *think* about trying it over dial-up. Yes, I should probably have been
using eye protection during these events...
