I like the robot in 3 days approach but the launcher might require much more launch range capability for autonomous mode...

As far as I understand it, 1114's puncher was a spring powered fire, winch driven wind up. (I think it used surgical tubing for the spring power). The winch used a motor with gearbox to wind it up, and then pieces of an andymark dog shifting transmission were used in a configuration to shift the winch to neutral and let the spring power unwind the winch.
