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...
