Re: [FTC]: Using Vacuum instead of Pneumatics?

While it wasn't fully a vacuum, LASA Robotics created a robot in 2014-2015 that pushed the Cascade Effect balls up a slevee to score them in the trailers by push air through the system and trapping it behind the balls, lifting them up as the air tried to escape.

The main issue you would have is the battery power/energy that it would take to make it work.
