Is there a way to break blocks with a redstone/piston system and then pick them up with a hopper in vanilla Minecraft. I want to make an automatic cobblestone breaker.
I know that I can break sand, I want to know how to break stone.

This is an oh-so-basic "proof of concept video". It's a two-level cobble generator which pushes the cobble into a obsidian/water "hopper" which then has TNT dropped on it. The TNT detonates, and the water pushes the harvest cobble to the end of the water tray. Not terribly effiecnt, but still an interesting idea. Large amounts of obsidian is reccomended to protect the rest of the structure from the TNT blast. As for automatically re-loading the TNT hopper, well...
This is a bug in the 1.9 pre-release (not sure if just pre-release 3, or all of them).
As you can see here:
It's working as you intended it to in 1.8.1

Best Answer
You can use command blocks. Place a redstone torch under the block you want to break and a command block above. Then, the command is:
Other than that, there is no vanilla way. (this is also not very vanilla)
To pick it up by a hopper place the torch on a wall under it and place the hopper at least 2 blocks under the cobble to make sure that you don't power the hopper
