Re: Feasibility of Design by Rookie team?
Both a top/bottom roller design, and a top roller+ramp design are viable solutions. We actually had a surprising level of success with side rollers as well -- take a look at Greenhorns Ri3D for an example of this.
Whatever you go with, prototype it! Make sure that your proposed geometry actually engages with the ball the way you expect it to. A little testing goes a long way.
