Re: Mechanism to Possess Soccer Balls

The limiting factor with our robots is the three inch rule. In our test the ball stayed with the robot going left and going right and even backwards but when the robot moved forward and suddenly stopped the ball popped right out.

Unless we can overcome this limitation the magnet may not work as well as we hope. The next step for us will be trying different sticky materials to coat the roller with . Any good suggestions?
