Re: How do you grab the ball?

We have what boils down to a handheld vacuum cleaner attached to a huge suction cup on a metal arm. We added a stronger motor to the vacuum so that it can pick up the ball, which it takes a second or so to do. The biggest problem is that the ball has to be pretty exactly lined up for the seal to form, but there's enough flex room for it to mostly line itself up.
