I hate to nit-pick, but Chris is right... we do actually have a launcher, which is a Constant Force spring launcher with winch pull-back. We didn't have it at Week-Zero, as our practice robot/1st iteration (which we brought) didn't have a working launcher. We plan to be doing plenty of shooting at Granite State though!
