Below is the first video of the MouseAir Version 2 Mouse loading mechanism.  This is a rack and pinion gear (with two racks) 3D printed (as is the box to the right) that drop the mouse down the ramp into the firing mechanism.  Block diagram here.  You can have up to 5 mice on the loading rack, thus entertaining your Cat all day.  To see a mouse launch from MouseAir Version 1, click here.

Next, we work on the firing mechanism.
