this arm mounts on the back of the robot and we have a roller pick up balls in the front. this is part of the reason for the shape, it loads by gravity feed from the bottom, but shoots out the side like a hook shot it does not take up a lot of space with the angle necessary for shooting out the top (in odor not to be blocked). this is not so much a prototype as a mold for a fiberglass version later. the frame it is in is the real thing though.
