Re: Laying it all out there
For picking up the ball, you can take a window motor with one of the hubs and screw the hub directly into a piece of PVC pipe. Put a cap on the other end and a shaft through it and you have a nice roller. Here is a pic of our 2006 bot (with was before we started using round urethane belting instead of conveyor belting, but this conveyor was the one part of the robot that always worked perfectly) which used this set up. Looking back at the BOM, the PVC, the belting and the hardware to mount all of this was $85.
