It all depends on what you're trying to do. For us, we are trying to grab and lift the ball up with an arm mechanism to launch it, and pick up both sides so two rollers can be useful.

With a robot has a one roller over-the-bumper-intake, or most robot designs that I could think of for that matter, two rollers wouldn't be as necessary.
