Looking good!
Do you plan to shoot, dump, or something else?

Can you turn the roller so the tubes don't go outside the perimiter?

Wow, that is a very clever hopper material, I'm impressed! Looks like your construction is coming along great, you should be able to get in a lot of practice before AZ.

How fast is your "popper" able to shoot?
I was watching videos of it, and It looks like a very clever idea.
Just wondering how well it works.

What are you planning to do with the balls once you have them in the hopper?
Design looks great!

If the green band on the right stretches out, its outside your perimeter.

try to fix that?

Shoot and we can reverse the motors so it can shoot them out the bottom as well

This frame that it is mounted on, is a mock up frame. the real driving base and the hopper and harvester were mated this past sat.

well thats just about exactly what i drew up in the begining of the year for our team. We almost did it too then we found a video of something special and decided to make that work for us. Nice work though i have confidence in your design.

looks like the green "grips" oin your roller go outside your mock base there, so technically you may have to shorten them.

How will you get balls out of the shoot-pipe with no power?
