With a good grip on the ball and fast enough speed, you should be able to go full reverse and hold onto the ball.
We are running two 555 motors with a 20:1 so that's about 900 rpm.

We have beveled the surface of the wheel to get more contact.
We are going to put the fisher price motors on if speed turns out to be the solution.

John,
For our kicker, we have 5 different power shots that work decently from most places on the field. The DiscoBots would love to challenge the Robowranglers to a game of robot golf !
