Part of our issues early on were that we had designed this to fit a slightly smaller ball circumference than that of the balls at competition. This meant that the gatherer was either too far down or to far up in its nominal configuration. Throughout the event, we were trying to get a fix for it, but ultimately the best fix was to implement a different size piston, which was not available during the event.
