i'm guessing from the picture that the claw does not actually grab the ball but contains it? are you planning on running around quick, rolling the ball over the line, grabbing it again, and then repeating? it looks like a good design though i would have doubts about maneuverability in some situations and it looks like your bot would have little torque
