Re: How to get the ball over the overpass!?

I am not sure if teams are forgetting the size of the ball. Any gripper that is designed to grab a 40" ball will have to fold up inside of the 38"x28". I am sure you will see some arms that are capable of lifting the ball over the bar. This will require careful design due to the size and weight of this years ball.
