I think we should get a GIANT hair dryer and capture the balls midair with the venturi effect (like ping pong balls on normal hair dryers). LOL

and on a realistic note, there was a team with a fan my freshman year (to navigate the lunacy regolith). might have been delphi elite ? it was a huge (about 2 foot) wooden-bladed fan on the back of the bot with a cage around it. I have not yet picked up one of these "basketballs" so I don't know how dense they are and if a fan could actually affect it . This would be AWESOME but you would need a fan to take up your entire horizontal dimension and probably add a cowling besides to focus the blast/stream. if you had a 2 foot fan you would have 2" all the way around for a cowling I think.
