I may be wrong.. but I see what looks to be 2 12" pneumatic cylinders (on the side towards the claw, just past the winch). I assume those both extend/retract to give enough force to put the grabber up or down. However, it seems that if this is infact the raise/lower mechanism, there may be an issue of arc when grabbing balls out of goals or putting them in. Then again, I could be wrong (about there being a problem) and whatever team that is may have already mastered their ball handling.

Nice work folks... what team number? (M: You are listed as 000)
