I'm not sure what it would look like, but it will be specialized to run empty cells quickly with no chance of losing one to the opposition. It should run four empty cells in less than 100 seconds. That will cover approximately 120 feet in that time (three and a half round trips) with time for picking up and dropping off empty cells. I don't think it should pick them up from the floor because of the chance of an opponent 'bot swooping in, bumping, and stealing. It must be a positive holding mechanism that operates quickly because the runner 'bot will be an easy target while sitting still.
