Hmm... Looks nice guys.

Seems to me that your running something like our 2002 season with the belt.
6 wheel drive is nice. To me it looks like your feeding the poof balls from the bottom, but how are you getting them to feed in just driving over them or what? I would assume your going to add like a piece of PVC ,with some grip, that can spin all the time so that the balls will move toward the back so you can feed it up the belt, but Im sure you know what your doing for that.

Looks good guys cant wait to see the finishing product! Good luck guys!

Nope. There is no need for PVC rollers. As soon as the ball touches the belt it flies up and into our hopper. A picture of our final hopper, which should be about to hold about 25-35 balls, will be released soon... Maybe... :)

It's no secret, it just doesn't quite exist yet. Well part of it does, you can see it in this image (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&action=single&picid=12518&direction=DESC&sort=date&perrow=3&trows=10&quiet=Verbose).

Actually our final hopper is sitting in a shop down the street from our school waiting to be welded. Pictures should surface within a week.
