Setup videos:

The holder consists of 2 plastic pieces, 2 nuts (placed in the ring piece) and 2 bolts.
Place the ball sensor in the long piece. The cable comes out the back, the holes at the front of the sensor face the wide end.
Attach the holder to the robot, the 2 bolts go through the long piece into the ring piece. The sensor will be held firmly in the correct position.

Velcro: Attach one side of the velcro to the flat side of the ball sensor
Velcro: Attach the other side of the velcro to the robot
Placement: the ball coming out of the robot should cross in front of the sensor. It should be as close a possible to the path without interfering with the ball coming out.
