It looks great, but we were also wondering how you keep within the 80" rule? We had a similar design but had to modify it to make it fit the rule. At a static condition, with the ball on the floor in front of the robot, we were ok, but when we lifted and arc of the arm/grabber fell outside the 80" limit. We had to shorten up our grabber fingers to mak eit fit.
