While constructing the machine, the original plan was to use cardboard boxes to keep the birdies from falling when they where launched. What we realized pretty much immediately is that when they are held back in that way, the birdies do not fly very far because they are shot at a less then optimal angle. After some testing, we found out that when placing the birdies in the forks, they can stay put in them for a longer period when being launched. This lets them fly off at a lower angle and incidentally, fly further.
