I'm gonna guess thats an intake roller

[Manoel]

Hey, good stuff!

We're using something similar in our harvester.

[RoboMadi]

actually this is our first prototype. it works both ways; as an intaker and also helps pushing the balls in the side goals.

we were considdering that but it evolved into a conveyorish thing... looks neat though

[Nate Laverdure]

This has since evolved into several different rollers that we tested:
-A similar roller with shorter tubes
-A roller covered with mousepad (mousepad grips the balls really well)
-A roller with wood screws screwed into the ends of the tubes
-And the one we really plan to use, a combination of all three

The roller drives the balls into a mesh collection bin that empties into our bottom-feeding turret.
