Just wonder about the details of the robot...

It seems to me the robot is going to be pretty light, considering the simple design and the single arm. About how heavy is your robot? May I guess around 80 lbs?

And it looks like the Van Door on the arm is directly connected on the joint. So, no gear reduction to keep it slow and strong?

The end of the gripper seems to be pretty thin and light, how well is it in gripping balls? Seems like you need the end to grip the balls right at the middle to get a good hold.

And finally, the robot looks like it can fold up and go under the bar. And secret under the drive train in between the two wheels that will get the robot over the 4x6 easily, or it's doing it quite smoothly using the two wheels?

Sorry, I don't want to sounds like am criticizing... just want to gather some info, that's all.

By the way, this robot looks REALLY REALLY HOT!!!
