we ship in less than 10 days and practically no way to grab the ball

we have a 5 foot robot with an upright staionary "shoulder"
we have a 50 in "arm" that extends from the top of the "shoulder" out. it can move up, down, and around our "shoulder" and thats pretty much it
we had a claw mechanism that had circular claws but didnt work b/c it was out side the 80in

we have one idea, but its a last resort kind of idea

we pretty much ran out of ideas, and the idea we do like, its too late for them
if anyone out there has any suggestions or tips on what to build, or anything
WE NEED HELP!!

Can you shorten your mast and/or arm?
