Just remember that if your lifting a ball thats around 7-10 lbs in the air your center of gravity is going to be very high. You need to wath for the punch not tipping over your robot int he process, the punch that is needed to lift the ball 3 ft. would be enough to tip your bot if its not built to withstand it. Just throwing it out there
