Re: Grabbing oblong objects

You may be able to detect resistance from the ball with the potentiometer. If it's rotating slower or rotating in the opposite direction at times, that should indicate that the football is held tightly enough for it to push back against the motor. It would probably work best against a weak motor setup.
