Re: pic: Blue Lightning 578 presents KateGleasonOne

no I dont have any photos holding the 2X ball - but it has a death grip on it, and we can reach between the PVC pipes on the goals to get the 2X ball, so we dont have to reach over the top like lots of teams are having problems with using claws

Ive seen several teams on the webcasts with claws, when they place the ball on the goal, then open the claw, it pushes the pvc pipes out and the 2X ball falls off the goal.

Our arm was originally centered between the drivewheels, so when you held the 2x ball straight up and did a victory spin, the ball rotated in the air perfectly, like the earth spinning on its axis

but we had to move the arm forward a bit to match the C.G for hanging from the bar.
