I think specialized robots like ours will be very critical in the eliminations rounds when teams want balls thrown full field. Maybe make it a three-roller-claw instead of the three prongs?

Could you elaborate on the rollers? Right now, we need as little weight on the arm as possible and based on estimates, our max is 10-12 pounds for both the ball side (with ball) and counterweight. And I believe we're hovering just around 5.5 pounds.
If you want, you can PM me and I can give you the low down on why and how we chose this design. It's awfully late for Texas but I'll look for the thread.
