Yeah, I got that, but how would they be loaded into it? If it's just a 10-initial-ball-holder, then it's highly inefficient.

will your hoipper be very accurate because if not, to me, it seems that it will not fall into the path of that. also what are your demnsions of that?

Re: pic: Hopper design
 

The belt drive i also posted feeds the balls into the top of the hopper. The dimensions may vary from now until later so I cant give you them.

Coolest looking hopper posted yet (possibly aside of 217's suspected hopper, but they havnt officially said what their "wheel of doom" is). Simple, efficient, and awesome.

edit: wow, 800th post already!?! :ahh:

Re: pic: Hopper design
 

that looks really cool!
neat idea
how many balls can you fit into that spiral? looks like about 20 balls total

This + the wheel of doom = POOF BALL GUMBALL MACHINE! :cool:

Re: pic: Hopper design
 

We r thinking about cutting the size down because of a lack of space so all together maybe only about 12.

Re: pic: Hopper design
 

i had this idea but now i think it won't be too good because of the space it takes up and how to fabricate it, the hose idea is great, good job.


are they going to just roll down? i had the idea of having brushes or bars to push the balls down (or even up) one at a time as desired.
