The kicker is powered by surgical tubing (of course...think 1114 in 2008) with adjustable tension and the ball magnet is a spring loaded assembly with high and low powered rollers, the springs actually push the ball into the floor - without the springs, they pick the ball off the floor (as seen a few time when they got hit while in posession of a ball). Very effective solution!
