Still, second picks often have nothing better to do with their ball, and it'd be an easy routine to write. Oh. Bonus points if you steal the first ball, and then shoot it at the dropped ball to turn a 2-ball auto into a 0-ball auto.

Definitely thought of this but be careful about the definition of launching.

D. “launching” (shooting BOULDERS into the air, kicking across the
floor, or throwing in a forceful way)

G39 ROBOTS are prohibited from launching BOULDERS unless they are in contact with the opponent’s
TOWER or carpet in the opponent’s COURTYARD, and not in contact with any other carpet.
Violation: TECH FOUL per BOULDER
