"The Soccamatic" is a short film in the Cracking Contraptions series.
Plot[]
Wallace and Gromit head to the local football field where they get into ball throwing. Realizing how skilful Gromit is at shooting the balls, Wallace activates his Soccamatic a machine that repeatedly shoots balls at Gromit in the goal. Gromit ducks as the balls fly past. The machine runs out of balls, but Wallace re-loads new balls into the machine via an overhead part that dumps them in. Meanwhile Gromit has pulled on gloves and pilot gear. Pulling a cord, he inflates his goalkeeper vest and gloves. This completely blocks the goal, enabling the balls to bounce off. Then Wallace has an idea of tennis.
