Ball collector Materiel

My team is doing the ball magnet idea with the rollers to posses the ball and we are having only moderate success with it. We can get a ball if we creep up y on it and give it time to "connect" then the robot can't move fast without losing the ball. we have seen the videos of people just holding onto the balls and we want to know if there is some special material people find helpful, or is there a trick with the ball collector. Right now the ball collector can't really change position drastically but we can change the roller all we want. Right now we have tested Rollers with Duck tape, straight up PVC, and hockey tape. Has any one done something different that works well?
