That was Team 980's conclusion - though some of us (including me) liked the idea of "extreme launching" of the balls.
The robot needs to be both agile and powerful to get in position to grab a Trackball. Once in position, a strong and reliable gripper is needed to secure the ball. Once the trackball is in possession it can be fed to a good launcher or just pushed over the overpass. Possession is the key...
