the four reflector tubes are all connected together with a peice of wire, which is tightened/loosened by a pneumatic cylinder that is stationed in the static aluminum 'thumb'.

actuating the cylinder will sort of 'winch' the string, which will tighten the fingers over the ball into an iron, easily undone, grip.
