Interesting! I see almost no trying to steal the ball like you'd do for a human game. Perhaps the "cavity" that can hold the ball makes that less of a winning strategy.

It is however possible for robots to steal the ball from other robots. This happens when the the ball is in between two ball handlings (which you refer to as cavity) of different robots. The robot that can pull hardest on the ball will win this scrum and remain/gain ball posession. Maybe you can find them in some ofther video's on our youtube channel!
