Our team was inspired by some of the robocup bots we saw that used a similar mechanism to control the ball. But what we are having trouble with is figureing out how this works.
WE have a setup with a 1.5" tube spining at about 400 rpm, and it just seems to spin the ball a little, and then it kinda bounces off the roller and away.
What is the concept of how this works? (if you don't mind) or if someone else can fill me in.
one thing to make sure you play with is different contact points between the ball and roller as well as different "sticky" surfaces
