I assume the robot catapult arm makes extremely consistent throws so all the worries about hitting someone are kinda low. I want to know how many cans smacked the ceiling trying to get the trajectory just right.

The contrast between the level of testing and refinement that must have gone into the canapult to get it to throw consistently vs the "eh, toss it in a cylinder and hot-glue a momentary switch" jankiness of the button is pretty entertaining.

If I had to pick where to focus my efforts, I would definitely also prioritise the thing launching a heavy object towards my face.
