Re: pic: Virginia's Claw

the only concern i have is the 80" rule. That is wicked though. We prototyped our grabber with wood as well.

I imagine (I have not seen their actual design) that this claw is mounted on an arm of elevator of some type, and that they thusly get the ball up to above 6.5'. From there, I guess they probably either knock / throw or drop it over.

Arm, yes. See the other picture--the one where they are trying out the grip.
