Re: Suction as a method for possessing balls

Has anyone made an effective suction rig that does not involve using a CIM motor? With the limit on 5 CIM motors, we were looking at using four on the wheels and the last one on a propulsion mechanism. But if the vacuum requires a CIM motor, then we would have to re-design something.
