Re: Fork type End Defectors & Ball acquisition

Team 1816 runs the ball into a ball/corner and lifts the forks, but to keep the ball on them and prevent it from moving around we bought bicycle handle grips at target and they fit perfectly on the end of our forks. I have seen other teams use tennis balls on the front. If you just add something with a little grip to the front, as soon as the ball is on, it is on until you let it go. Just make sure you don't put too much grip or else you will have trouble releasing the ball for a hurdle.
