When looking for a disk (either from Throwbots or Bionicle), one will see that they are all labeled as "disk." Examples:   *  32171pb026 Throwing Disk with Throwbot Scuba / Slizer Sub 3 Pips, LEGO Technic Logo, and Robot Throwing Disk Pattern Parts: Throwing Disk {Yellow} [P=32533pb132,46] However, when looking for a device to LAUNCH said discs, we see all parts labeled as "Disk" launcher, thrower, etc.   *  40507 Bionicle Tohunga Bamboo Disk Thrower Arm (4 Spines on Curve) Parts: BIONICLE {Tan}   *  47304 Bionicle Kanoka Disk Launcher (Matoran) Parts: BIONICLE {Flat Silver} Additionally, I think the word "Kanoka" (the proper term for the disk, and commonly used throughout Bionicle set descriptions) should be added to all Bionicle parts like: [P=32533pb125,46] Thoughts?
