Last, where do you get this polycord stuff? Looks pretty neat.
If anyone can answer the questions, give it a shot.
All your help is greatly appreciated. Let's see some more...

The basket is raised up to the goal-top level by the 'arm'. There is a pivot where the wrist is attached to the arm and a pivot at the base of the arm near the base. The picture should help. The 'wrist joint' is powered by 2 globe motors, and the 'shoulder' is a drill motor. In previous years we used the fisher price but they don't have those anymore.
The surgical tubing on the side of the arm is a counter balance. It pulls the wrist back to help balance the weight of the balls when they're in the basket.
The poly cord is in small parts i belive. I've never really looked at where we got it, but i know its in some legal catalog.
and if you want to see more video i have alot. just IM me or PM me or e-mail me i don't care. just ask.
