So what are you using to hold the ball, and how did you adapt it so that you could hold the ball in place in (what looks like) the entire width of the front of your robot?

Great design. Nice work.
It's actually very simple. Any team can do it.
The secret is.... 3 weeks of prototyping!

PS - For anyone who followed my build journal on facebook, the ball magnet is the "System #5" I kept cursing during week 2 and 3.
