Let's just say it is hard to get off. You will tip our robot before the ball would come lose. We used it for a punching bag. I think the only way it will not hold a ball after it grab is if some damage is done to the cup itself. But I think you could put a hole in the plastic and it still would be able to grab the ball. We are bringing spares though.
