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!

I'm going to try to say this in the nicest way possible, and I don't mean to be rude in any way: Are you trolling us? Dribbling will be the worst not to mention most impossible (improbable) thing to do in this game. If you are not trolling, I apologize, however that is a very bad way of playing the game. This is FIRST, and I am trying to help you, and this is the honest truth. A simple robot with wheels (tank treads are fine), a normal sized base, and an attachment or so will be a lot better than your description of the robot.
I hope this helps, and remember, I'm only trying to help you succeed. I wish the best of you and your team, and good luck!
Also, since I see this is your first post, you must be new here. So here's the standard welcome from Andrew:
