I can't locate the reference right now, but it was either a team update or a blog entry that said that down-force suction would not be allowed as the regolith is fairly fragile and any form of suction would deform and possibly damage the playfield resulting in a potential disqualification.

Before spending much time experimenting, you might want to investigate the updates, the blog, and the Q&A system.
