Dribbler Bar Type

The current plan for the 2009 Dribbler is to have it be segmented. Segmenting creates two sections of dribbler with a gap in between. Theoretically, this allows for more ball control. The Mexican team used this set up in 2008 (see here). The gap in between is going to be between a quarter to a third of the length of the dribbler.

Performance Assessment

To measure last years performance and game play. This will be determined by receiving a kick and grabbing a stationary ball all under computer control. These results will be used as a benchmark to our new Dribbler model.

Pouring

We might want to look into pouring a mold of silicon rubber for the Dribbler assembly. This will be easier to put the rubber on the shaft. We don't know how well this will work, but we should do tests to see its effectiveness.
