Re: Silly and ridiculous robot designs.
My favorite design was basically we somehow load the ball into a bowl like structure on a pole going out the back of our bot, the pole would be able to rotate probably 90 degrees so in the end it could be vertical. so we pick up the ball and line up a few feet away from the overpass. four pneumatic actuator things extend from the corners of the bot lifting it a couple feet in the air. the front actuators close violently throwing the ball forward over the overpass.

My idea... if only it didn't violently shake the base of the robot and make the base fall roughly two feet
