We thought ball control was more important than a kicker to practice with so we didn't even put a kicker on our practice bot.
Nice design. It looks like your driver is "tender" with the robot when he is driving it. I would really recommend he push the robot to its limits and see where they are. At competition, it's really hard to be that tender and still expect to score 4+ goals a match.

I too was under the impression that a ball magnet was a general word for something that possessed a ball, and wasn't aware that there is a design aspect to the word.
