This is not a matter of me being unable to think of legal ideas, or using the larger playing configuration of the past as a crutch, rather that it does removes several designs that implement this feature and cuts down to the few that don't. Just to throw out a few that would use a larger playing config:

A tube which when filed with balls is extended like an arm to quickly drop all balls directly over an opponent's trailer

A Hungry Hungry Hippo style ball pickup

A javelin type pickup

A javelin type disposal

A simple claw and arm

and many more.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
