Make sure to take photos and keep us posted.
An idea for the pendulum would be to attach a bucket at a slight angle that'll gather the entire avocado. Just make sure it's light compared to the pendulum.

This isnt going to work very well.

yer thats what i was thinking the avo normaly disintergrates on impact

I think the bucket might also disintigrate for some weird reason aswell.

Some people like a challenge and do things the hard way?
I have a chronograph for jobs such as this. Accurate answers, no pain, no strain. Basic models come cheap enough these days, and you get a special reduced price on a new one if you aim a bit low...

err well i wouldnt use a plastic bucket i might hammer together a box out of wood and shoot the avo into the box

Chronograph.
Has two sensors, fire something between the two sensors and it tells you the FPS.
They are pretty cheap, Tim has one but I bet he wont let you fire your cannon at it.

A chronograph is much easier!

how do you measure theta though mike?
by the time he gets the compass to the block of wood it would've settled.
nail in the end of the block with a paper sheet stretched out behind the pendulum? would take a few goes to find the approximate area the nail will pierce the sheet then its just simple geometry to work out your angle?
One, two free, floor!

I didn't say it was easy... But it is doable - without all the electronic bits and bobs.
If you have a video camera filming the pendulum from the side during impact would be the go. Choosing the weight of the pendulum so that you get just the right amount of deflection is critical though - too little deflection and you can not measure it, too much and it starts getting tricky again.
