Yes, we designed such that once the boulder goes in the high launcher, that's the only controlled way the robot can get rid of it. However, our planned M.O. is to keep the ball in the loader until we're nearly ready to shoot high. There's a place in the intake where the boulder can be held securely, and we are using a range finder to identify that the boulder is in that spot and stop the intake. The intake holds the boulder more securely than the launcher, as well.
