Re: pic: Our robot as of tonight...

How successful are you in collecting the balls with those zip ties?

Our team tried a similar approach ealier in the year. We found that adding a little bit of compression (since the balls are around 9" in diameter, an 7.5"-8" is enough) went a long way to making our system more reliable.
