Is that a significant factor in damaging/shooting the Boulder? After all, the robot would be pushing the ball into the shooter with some amount of force anyhow...
It may be that it takes longer for the wheels to grab the ball and shoot it when the ball is pushed forward gently allowing the wheels more time to abrade through the outer coating of the ball. This is just a hypothesis and you would have to specifically test for the difference.
