Go back and look at the 2007 and 2010 games for suction related devices. Many teams used suction in 2007 to pick up tubes, as well as last year to hang on to the soccer balls. Obviously 2007 may have some direct correlations, so start there. If I remember correctly Team Voltage had a pretty nice suction system in 2007 (Team 386).
