Ball Picker

Hello, I wanted to see what people are using to pick up the balls on the field.

Our team has a couple ideas:

A spinning drum of thick elastic bands.

A spinning drum of bristles.

An opening with spinning wheels and a wall for the ball to get wedged in and pushed up to the hopper.

Anyone think one is better than the other for a specific reason?

Re: Ball Picker

Those are all good ideas. My team has been discussing the same thing the last few days. The only way to know what works best is to built a model!
