Seems like an elims worthy robot to me!
We made them out of solid poly, we wanted them heavy because they are the lowest possible part of our robot. They weigh around 2 lbs each.

And we approach the ball slowly because the camera is tracking the ball and getting it for us.

Ok, maybe not yet. We go slow because we have not had much practice, the second the ball touches the fan it does not let go.
