This sounds kind of inefficient, if I understand correctly.

Getting your arm "weightless" is a great idea! Well done!
lol No, if you look at the robot you will see two blue rollers not in-line with the ground pickup; those are on their own smaller arm that rotates in-line if the shooter and the ground intake. That will rotate to be in-line with the ground intake and a disc will load in and then it will realign with the shooter and push it in to shoot. That arm(we call it the flipper) is also how we load from the feeder station. It flips out and then just reverses direction to load into the robot.
