Funny you should mention that! We were working on a design today for a collapsible ball picker-upper:
The 1/4" strip of lexan acts as a slight spring. It takes just the right amount of force to push it, and the aluminum bracket prevents the arm from swinging out.
We realized we need to design this after we (I) accidentally test-crashed the manipulator into a wall and it was almost mangled beyond repair (but not quite, because we did repair it)
