Re: In your oppion...

In my opinion, have something that is approximately ball-shaped for it to be trapped in.

Re: In your oppion...

My team is using large flippers with rollers and a pair of upright with rollers on the front of the bot for herding... As for actually PICKING UP the ball..... If I told you, I'd have to kill you... haha jk

but if it was ball shaped... it would go over the 80", we built a strap that did pick it up easily, then we remembered the rule and had to scrap it. so now we have a three point claw that works.

and, going on top of it isn't that hard... its just having the right motor to be able to pick it up.
