In all seriousness, just look at any intake system from 06, 02 and a few from 01.

Personal favorites: 254/968 from 06 + 111 from 02 + 1114 from 06= Pwnbot
27, 254/968, 1114, 499/70 all had great systems to retreive balls from the floor.

Strange thing is, if you go back and watch '06 games almost ALL of these teams used the human players to fill their robots. It was just quicker and faster than chasing down rolling balls.

And of course there was that one team 25 that never really bothered to pick them up at all... that robot was pretty good

But will human loading be effective in '09?
cons:
-You may score in your own goal.
-You have to not move while being filled.

hmmmm....
