Another SP functioning video...well

I tried to make a working trebuchet, and failed three times to get the "swing" right. So I opted for a hightech version a "Rotary Trebuchet". Using a sphere as an emitter and tweaking the UI settings for a continuous supply of ammo. Here it is. needs more tweaking though.
[flash=420,315:130lzer2]http://www.youtube.com/v/Vgvu8JaJ8e4[/flash:130lzer2]I would like to get the timing right, one ball per paddle, good throws at least 90% of the time.

try dropping thr balls from higher so there dropping faster and make it further into the arms
might work to curve the arms slightly forward too? -
I tried to do a rework but I broke it, with side flanges, and the higher drop, it might work if I can fix it. Of course I reworked the working model, anhd I don't have a copy.
Rule Number One in SketchyPhysics, save your work often. Rule Number Two, if you want to redo something make a copy and rework the copy, save your working original, if for nothing else for use as a reference. -
and upload it with your post so others can play

I will do that, now it is spinning with the modified flanges, but the balls won't grop into the wheel.
-
New modified version without flanges. The flanges would be cool, with a V-mod on the center of the wheel, so the balls don't land in a straight line, more random placement, in theory anyway.
