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

Roller needs to spin so that it's surface is turning at least twice as fast (relative to the robot) as the robot is driving, so it can hold the ball as the robot drives backwards.

The actual rotating speed (rpm) depends on the diameters of the roller and the wheels.
