I'll keep my eyes open for a match like that.

I would love to see 3 launchers on a team, but i don't think that it will happen, i think the most you will see is 2 on a team. (Especially with the serpentine draft)
And i want to see how well and fast these robots can launch the ball over effectively and still be as fast as a lapper. With my calculations a GOOD lapper can do a lap in 10s or less. A launcher with a GOOD launch/catcher will be 17s+ and a hurdler will be 24s+ (Just my rough estimates.) So i would like to see all of the strategies teams will come up with during the season.
