Simple idea. Love it. Gravity drops the balls in so no rule breaking, to my knowledge.

Just nice

Everybody, thank you very much for your input. First off, I did not actually see that this photo had generated discussion (I'm rather new to CD) so I am seeing this long after you guys wrote your posts. Basically, I designed the dumping mechanism, a friend of mine designed the intake, and his father and another student headed up the wheels. Let me say, as the dump group designer, that post about violating the rules scared the living daylights out of me (less than a week left now). It was not until I continued down the posts that I realized that this would be a legal machine (and yes, we meet all of the general requirements in this drawing). As for the omni wheels, we actually ran into trouble with those trucks you see. The reduction was not high enough, and as a result, we kept drawing way too much current, hence blowing our 120 amp bus and draining our battery in about 2 minutes. We redesigned the mechanism, adapting the drive shafts to fit in the KOP gearboxes, and re-attached the gearboxes in the same configuration shown, and the drive works very well. Thank you for all your comments.
