Re: Suction as a method for possessing balls

It would be very hard to implement, because of the seams in the balls. You would need multiple small suction cups, to ensure at least some of them grab. But then they probably wouldn't be able to hold on if there were any reasonable bumps to the ball.

EDIT: Ah he beat me. And i trident wouldn't really work because the ball would need to be more than three inches under the bumper to grab the ball in that manner
