I would add cover material and stitching to the the list of variables that can have a noticeable effect on robot performance/design.
Unless standardized, the ball covers encountered in competitions can have different friction and "give" when some ball pick-up or handling mechanisms try to rub, squeeze or bite into them.
Similarly, I think the different stitching approaches available can have a non-trivial effect on ball pick-up and handling.
