How do you grab the ball?

I hope everyone has had a good build so far, and I wish all of the teams good luck as we finish out with the last week. But as we start to focus a lot of energy on driver training, as coach I'd like to get a better idea of how most robots will be grabbing/picking up the ball. I've seen a lot of teams who use a horizontal bar with wheels on top of it, and the only problem I see with this is that it will be a challenge to corral the ball if it is bouncing a lot. So what kind of mechanism are your teams using? Thanks and good luck!
