We weren't too impressed at first. But, we kept adjusting this, trying that, until we found a key to making them work well. We are now just going to try different materials on the arms to see if we can optimize their performance. Even if we don't get any better performance, we are happy with what we have already.

Check out a quick passing test we tried. It makes passing between "Chopsticks" a simple process. The ball never even touches the floor.
