Yes I'm interested in this as well. We found that an active receiver from the station is far superior to a passive funnel. Just giving the gear a little bit of force downwards is going to help seat it even in a box and can correct for misalignment.
Regarding active placers, we decided that that's also very beneficial. I think someone else in the thread said that there are tradeoffs, but we managed to package an active placer in a volume smaller than many teams passive systems.
In my opinion, I think all the high-level gear bots are going to be able to dump the gear the instant the peg gets in the gear.
