I was in the stands at GVSU and noticed a bot with a particularly effective ball magnet. After the match, I walked down to their pit area and talked to them. They had a 2-roller design. The upper roller was powered and the lower was free-wheeling. The lower was set back from the upper about 1 to 2 inches.
As the team explained it to me, the top roller pulls the ball in, squeezing it ever so slightly as it does so, and the lower roller stops it at 3" inside the frame perimeter. Very effective.
