Re: Official Team 2526 Robot Model!!
I had a similar idea as this for herding the ball rather than picking it up - but one challenge to be aware of is that the overall width and length of the robot must not exceed robot limits at the starting position (28" x 38" I believe). Once the match starts then you can deploy your mechanism to be larger than that.

then, of course, you have the 80" rule that others have mentioned.

Other than that, I really like your design.
