Abstract
A collector comprises a main body comprising: front wheels; rear wheels; a driving device; a battery; a collection device to pick up a ball; and a collection container to accommodate the ball. The battery and the collection container are disposed between respective axles for the front and rear wheels, and respective positions of centers of gravity of the battery and the collection container are situated in an area defined between a first tangential line tangent to an upper portion of the front wheel and an upper portion of the rear wheel and a second tangential line tangent to a lower portion of the front wheel and a lower portion of the rear wheel. This structure improves weight balance of the collector and enhances stability during travel.
