Slinging Rocks!

Baseball slings, but with a twist.
The pouches could be simulating baseball pitches (like a knuckleball) with latex copies or hell, even taxidermied human hands that grip the ball in the sweet spots so you can have a perfect sinker every time.
Also, a triggered sling would be cool. Basically, it would be a tandem release sling, where you could release one object and then the next (a trigger on the first shot, a normal throw on the next) to get you some cool combinations, like throwing a clay pigeon or pomegranate on the first throw and then follow it up with some lead shot.
The coolest thing would be a robotic sling. You would have the sights at the radius of the loaded sling, so you'd be a tangent to a release point. All the robotics would do is allow you to release the pouch at your tangent, and would coordinate releases even if your trigger press was off (although a mechanical linkage could do the same thing).
Here's the image in my head: I O====<) I I Where O is the center point, the =<) a sling with pouch, and I being the sights/business end of it all.
Also, for those maffball players, why couldn't you use a cross shaped piece of wood as a staff sling? You slip the tissue roll over the dowel part, and BAM! instant staff sling!
