Who puts it back on? launchers are built on the fact that someone takes the ball off for you. Giys check out 1323's bot and that arm can go up and down in 2 seconds (help of gas springs). It has wheels to suck it in. I think the arms are ideal this year, not to diss the launchers. Also the arms can do every function of this years game

Several arm robots this year have shown completely seperate mechanisms for ball removal when it comes to the rack. It goes without saying that shooters in general will have a more interesting time of replacing the ball upon the rack, if they decide to travel that road. However there will be some shooters that will be able to reliably place back on the rack for end game bonuses. I have enough faith in first teams to believe that. There is no reason why a shooter should be denied the thought of being able to complete every function of this years game.
