Re: Heather's ball handler

how well does the ball stick to the robot when making quick turns (donuts)?
I've seen many videos from numerous teams so far, but none that show it.
We've tried many different materials, speeds and roller locations relative to the ball to see what works best.
They stick very well going forwards and backwards, but...........

I wonder if teams that have a swerve/crab type system might be optimal as they can rotate/pivot themselves towards the goal prior to acquiring the ball for quick forward movement and a shot?
