so the drill motor powers the wheel at top sucking in the ball?, does it hold it stiffly enough? can pop out if hit side ways?

Remember this is just a prototype. That whole mechanism was designed and fabricated to see if it would work, however the final will be a bit wider that the 1.5" that were contacting the ball during testing.

Also, we used a DRILL, not just the motor, its one of our common testing practices to just use the drill to power the shaft.

Well lets just say that our rack became the robot. It had a nice flat face and was already the right length so, why not?!
