well, there's lots of stuff you could do. you have, for example rollers on your robot to herd the balls. if you put another roller on the end of a large square that flips down from an initial standing position, you could trap the balls that you have in front of you at that point inside a corral of sorts. you probably wouldn't want to make it any bigger than, say, enough for 3 balls, but its better than nothing. something like that would let you actually grab balls and move around with them, instead of just hitting them.
