Unfortunately, I can't recall precisely which teams had these. I was hoping someone here would possibly be able to link to relevant videos/pictures/design documentation for these things to facilitate shameless copyin-erm, I mean, inspiration.

Thanks!

You could just create a 3-fingered arm on a rotating turret ;)

Here is a video of 39 in 2008 http://firstvideoarchive.com/2008Arc...e=az_qf1m1.wmv

hmmmm? ;)

Fun thing we learned today: 20" does not give nearly as good of a wrap around the ball as what was possible in 2008. Coral-ling these balls will be tough.
