Well I am a programming mentor but let me give it a shot.

It has a floor pick up via the roller on top... it is actually attached to "Magic Arm 2.0", which is the carbon fiber arms there. It lowers down to pull in the ball which is brought in through the frame, then the pickup lifts the ball and gets it into a holding position before it is fired.

The arm can also pull down the doors and lift the portcullis.

The hanging mechanism... well that isn't meant to lift the robot just the straps (which aren't in the render). It will shoot up in a second or so to the bar then will tilt forward grabbing the bar. Then we will shift the 6 drive motors (4 CiMs and 2 Mini Cims) over to the winch which will life the robot.
