I've seen videos of vacuum suction cups that work well, once it grabs the ball. But without rollers, it would make it almost impossible. Those videos showed it with their bumper off.
A robot that has the ability to strafe (swerve, mecanum) can acquire balls with vacuums sans rollers if it strafes diagonally into them.

Re: What did we learn - FIRST Scrimmages?

Are there any videos from any of these scrimmages? I (and I am sure others as well) would love to see them.

p.s. - Please take permission from the teams if you are going to post a video of their robot.
