plunger gripper and spear

[CharlieWilken]

Wow. I pushed a plunger today onto a big yellow ball. It really sticks well. I was thinking that if you drilled a hole in the handle place and inserted a giant syringe type of device and attached this to an actuater you could get a fast quick ball grabber. I posted my question on the first Q and A to see if this might violate some pnuematics rule. If not its a pretty cool thing. The other cool thing is that it doubles as a pretty cool end effector.... I call it the plunger spear that can be used for stabbing at various balls that populate the higher levels of the playing field.
