Well, the robot is actualy anodized for the most part except the pipe stucture holding the arm up. That was actulay powder coatted. And yes we did design the entire robot to fit within 80 in. The way the claw is posittioned in the picture is not the way way are picking up the ball. We will be level to the ground and scoopping the ball up. A lot of work went into the mechanics behind it. I beleive we calculated the tension on the chain that moves the main sholder arm to be around 700lb. Whats even better is the way we plan to control the arm which is actuly a small "mini" arm with pot's (Potentiometers).
