Thank you - and don't worry about the cats, they think LEGO robots roaming
around the house are normal. All depends on the environment that you are raised
in...

They don't. The launcher works be squeezing the sides of the spheres as they are
pushed forward between two "fingers". The soccer ball size is just a little bit
smaller (a soccer ball will fit in a 2x2 space, while a Zamor just barely
doesn't... an issue that has foiled many a GBC builder trying to use Zamors as
well).
The good news is it looks like LEGO is still producing these parts (or has a lot
in storage), as they appear in the NXT 2.0 kits.
