I would love to get some feedback about my idea for a robot design. Haven't pitched it to my team yet, but I figure I can try the waters on this forum.

In a word: pyramid. With pneumatic suction capacity. The drive train would be a pair of military tracks to develop proper traction for the platforms. Balls would be sucked up via a vacuum that extends from the bottom of the pyramid into the tip of the pyramid's eye.

An arm would extend from the top of the pyramid, grab the ball, and begin dribbling it to increase the potential angle of impact.

A bit complex, but I feel that the dribbling component artfully captures the spirit of basketball. Woodie Flowers talked about Eat Pray Love, the book, in his speech, and in the book, they artfully capture one woman's soul-searching endeavors. This can capture the soul of basketball!!

Would love some suggestions. Thanks!
