Would that be legal?

As long as it does not "carry" the ball at any point in time, it should be fine. In other words, if your mechanism gets stuck, you get penalized along with not being able to do anything.
Also, your mechanism must be below the bumper zone otherwise you will get a penalty every time a ball goes through your mechanism.
After answering this, I would like to remind everyone that the topic is what is important to keep track of and not what is legal or what strategies will be best. Basically what would you want to record when scouting. Odds are you will want to be broad in your specification (e.g. can it traverse the field rather than "can it swing", and only then if so, how?).
