Centrifugal Arm Claw

Our claw needs to be super lightweight and hold in 78 kg of force (multiply by 9.8 m/s^2 and you get the Newton force). But we were thinking of using 3, 553 oz/in servos for three claw pieces made of welded bike chain pivoting on small ball bearing mounts. Does that sound reasonable? I'll have CAD ready by tonight but for now, does that sound reasonable? The claw pieces will probably be the arc of the basketball, but only 4.5 or 5 inches in horizontal length.
