Beautiful Robot! I love the hanging mechanism. Does anyone have details on the kicker and the ball magnet?

The kicker is powered by surgical tubing (of course...think 1114 in 2008) with adjustable tension and the ball magnet is a spring loaded assembly with high and low powered rollers, the springs actually push the ball into the floor - without the springs, they pick the ball off the floor (as seen a few time when they got hit while in posession of a ball). Very effective solution!

Dan's description covers most of it. As for the ball magnet, there's only one active roller. The bottom "roller" is actually just a steel bar covered with grip tape.
