Best way to collect balls off the field?
This thread is started to discuss ideas for getting balls off the floor and into the robot.

Last year at Nationals, the Vex folks had these cool rubber flappy wheels, and they would just pull those small balls right up into the robot. Anyone working on a larger version of that? Maybe brushes like a street sweeper, or arms that come out and sweep side to side (kinda like those nasty gathering 'bots that picked up older robots for the scrap heap, in the animated movie Robots)? After all, we have 60 x 60 to play with once the game's on...
