Something Is Being Overlooked People

After seeing so many threads on shooting mechanisms, I think we're not paying enough attention to the real problem of how to ACQUIRE these two foot balls. Though shooting these things seems really cool, how are you going to get the points for assisting if you can't retrieve the ball in the first place? I think we're forgetting the point, which is getting the robots to work with each other and pass the balls from one to the next.

With this in mind, does anyone have any good ideas for PICKING THESE MAMMOTHS UP? Granted ideas will be out there, however I feel that's what the focus should really be on.
