Ball posession: Roller (ball magnet) or vacuum?
How are you possessing the ball? How well does it work? Any innovations from the original ball magnet or standard vacuum design?
We went with a vacuum and are very pleased with the results. It uses an ungeared FP motor and a 5" shop vac impeller. The end-effector is a thin plastic food container. We can drive at full speed while maintaining control of the ball.
It seems most teams went with roller designs. I'd be interested to see how these compare to vacuum designs.
