Something Is Being Overlooked People

I think the reason you're not seeing that many threads about ball acquisition is because it isn't as difficult as figuring out how to launch the danged thing in the air!

More people are gonna discuss shooting because this game piece is big, bulky, and difficult to get far. There may be less threads for ball acquisition, because that idea is much more straightforward. Teams have used rollers to intake balls in past games, so as far as I can tell, we just need to build bigger roller intakes.

It is also true that teams have built shooters for balls in the past, but making bigger shooters isn't exactly how you're gonna solve shooting. You gotta have more power to shoot, and a way to control that. You don't need to amp up the power as much when using a rolling intake.

The difference is that the solution to the intake is to make it bigger, but the solution for shooting is to make it more powerful, which is much more challenging.
