Abstract:
A robotic manipulator is used to control the forces and angles applied on the strings during stringing of a lacrosse head. Precise string lengths may be implemented for certain features of the pocket. In some embodiments, the manipulator attaches the pocket to a lacrosse head and produces a strung head which has precise ratios of tension when comparing various strings within the pocket. One or more robot arms with end effectors such as grippers may be used. The forces used when tying each knot can be consistent throughout the pocket, or vary according to which particular knot is being tied. The tension of shooting strings and/or runners may be finely tuned in some embodiments.

Claim (Index 4):
A lacrosse head stringing system as in  claim 1 , wherein the formed lacrosse pocket comprises:\n a first string extending inwardly from a first sidewall opening on a first sidewall; and a second string extending inwardly from a second sidewall opening on a second, opposite sidewall, the first sidewall opening being directly opposite the second sidewall opening; wherein the controller is configured to control the first gripper and the end effector such that in the formed lacrosse pocket, the first string portion has the same tension as the second string portion.
