we have a freakishly similar design....may i ask what material you used for the "jaw"....also how do you close it up to fit inside starting position.....congratulations on an amazing looking robot

here is our design (sadly we dont have anyone experienced with CAD) so we use chalk and a board...the design is to scale..we have a protoype, much like yours except with a different method of gripping the ball (we used PVC...i dont personally like the pvc idea i like yours much better)
