At least you only have another seven days to decide and build, whichever way you go.

ARM: Pros: Can be used to pick up ball, works well with a hard or soft ball, can probably remove ball from overpass
Cons: High COG, Slow, Probably stationary when hurdling

CATAPULT: Pros: Low COG, Fast, Can Launch on the fly
Cons: May need another manipulator to pick up ball, may not work well with soft ball, can not remove ball from overpass

My 2cts: Catapult
