: In fact, we won a match in the semi-finals due to this exact problem in 1998.

: Just my two cents worth.

I think I remember seeing this round on one of the videotapes from '98...luckily, it wasn't our machine with that problem(we had a 'scoop' on the front of the machine that, among other things, helped us position the balls for our arm to get them), but I remember seeing this problem come up a few times, and with the smaller balls this year, I would recommend a very low frame, in order to prevent balls getting stuck _behind_ your machine as you try to back up.
