There is another thread about actively placing gears. I found a relevant Q&A answer (Q96) which seems to imply that if your robot doesn't do anything listed in the blue box of [G23], you're fine. LAUNCHING is defined in [G23]. Other than LAUNCHING, put all the enthusiasm you want behind putting that gear onto the peg.
