That's a very primitive version of this system - that video was taken a couple days after kickoff; much has developed since then, but you get the general idea.

As for grabbing the ball, you can see the 2 white PVC "arms" that are vertical in that picture .. a little bit of magic, some electricity and a motor will make the ball "ready to kick"
