I didn't see anything in the manual that explicitly allows this, but I noticed that one of the robots in the game animation is able to capture game pieces on the floor. So I don't see why this can't be done.

I think conveyor belts are a really good way to manipulate the game pieces. My team used conveyor belts in 2006 for a floor shooter, and from what I heard, it worked very well. I think this could be applied to shooting or harvesting game pieces, as well.
