I believe this to be the actual problem. I did not notice this much on Saturday (so perhaps it was fixed) but on Friday at Centerline I noticed that some of the game pieces looked like eggs more than balls. We noticed that our robot sometimes got the ball stuck in the arm one way and picked it up fine another way. So perhaps more than just a circle cutout needs to be used because a sphere and a cylinder can both fit into a circular hole. The suggested box idea would probably meet this criteria.
