I was thinking something very similar to that, in a two minute period are you going to be able to go through every single ring though?? There are 26 per alliance. You would pretty much have to pick a ring up, and set it down if it wasn't weighted. You wouldn't have time to score it.
Yeah, that's true.

I'm just throwing around ideas for now but I like this as a way to sort rings because it's quick and embedded in the actual claw.

To be honest, I was really looking toward having a claw capable of picking up multiple rings. Like either 2 or 3. In this case, you obviously have to adjust the tolerance to say, 6 oz.

But at this point its a matter of being able to take one off at a time.

Lots of things to think about, but it's a very viable idea. Physics behind it is simple enough too.
