We are working on a kicker right now, we just didn't ship it. As for keeping the balls out, we have to shelves that hang down from the underside of the chassis where all of our electronics are kept. These allowed us to keep the weight balanced, allow almost the entire center to be used by the manipulator, and let us go under the tunnel if we want. I think if we have to, we might just put a simple bar on the back of our robot to keep the balls out.
