Re: In your oppion...

In my opinion, have something that is approximately ball-shaped for it to be trapped in.

...and something to scoop it up from underneath. getting it from above seems way hard.

but if it was ball shaped... it would go over the 80", we built a strap that did pick it up easily, then we remembered the rule and had to scrap it. so now we have a three point claw that works.

and, going on top of it isn't that hard... its just having the right motor to be able to pick it up.
