it drives past the rack where the ball is set, and it just drives stright, the first bar pushes the brissles back and then when it passes the first bar it knocks the ball off the rack. we have a very similar idea.

No .. well .. we have yet to try. When our "real" manipulator is installed, it will do more damage to windows than good. It's a kick .. (pun intended)

That's a very primitive version of this system - that video was taken a couple days after kickoff; much has developed since then, but you get the general idea.

As for grabbing the ball, you can see the 2 white PVC "arms" that are vertical in that picture .. a little bit of magic, some electricity and a motor will make the ball "ready to kick" :cool:
