Thanks everyone!
Nathan, if your robot hadn't been shut off by a ball in the second finals round, we may not have been able to handle the combination of your defense and 125's offence. Another awesome robot from 1519. Here's hoping for another Einstein appearance!

There are 3 PVC "arms" holding the nets. The back arm is held in by the two side arms and the two side arms have velcro straps that are attached to The Mechanism (our collector/shooter) when they're closed. When The Mechanism moves forward, the velcro is ripped apart and the arms fling open via surgical tubing. You can see them opening in the beginning of this video:

We're planning on removing the velcro and making the side arms actuated to help us actively catch.
You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you hear people yell "CHARGE" and you get confused and lost when you look and see baseball and not robots - thatphotochick [more]
