I must say, integrating a Fisher-Price to a Dirt Devil is very Creative! I was not expecting to see many robots that use suction to pick up the trackball. What is the quickest time your team has been able to drive up to the ball and pick it up? I counted about 7 seconds on the video, but I'm sure you've practiced more since.
Just a suggestion for your video: If you are planning on using it for promotional purposes (and I would highly encourage it), cut the video down to a 30 - 45 second highlight real. Feel free to PM me for suggestions.
