Re: Ball posession: Roller (ball magnet) or vacuum?

We used a dump valve.

It is just a PVC pipe hooked up to the vacuum, with a pneumatic cylinder inside of it, to open the top. It gave us 5 different kicking modes, (Long w/dump,w/out, med with, without, short) with some great consistency. We would open the dump valve about 10-25ms before we kicked.
