Re: Fork type End Defectors & Ball acquisition

team 1086 just uses straight PVC tube, our "twin" 384 put a bend into the end of their forks which prevents the ball from rolling out once they get possesion of it... we did notice 103's brushes and plan on testing a version of these once we get to championship... but overall we havent had too big of a problem lifting the ball, we just take it nice and slow while lining up with the ball, so we dont bump it out of position.
