A nice clean functional-looking design. It looks like you may have just barely stayed inside the 80" limit, right?

Any problems with balance with the ball extended so far forward?

I love how many teams get to practice in the library.

Okay so we have 2 wheel center drive w/ 2 cims for each kit gearbox. The other four wheels are transwheels with rubber coating to help us drive straight but turn on a dime. The arm is driven by a ball screw, but we are probably going to use a piston to make it go faster. The grabber is run on pneumatics and with a pneumatic puncher that pushs the ball forward.
