Find game footage from 1992 FRC on youtube. It exists, though that mechanism may be a bit more complicated than what a couple of sports use.
Interesting, so like a big wheel that lets balls get caught in it? Maybe, but that could be too big. If the balls need to get 16 inches off the ground, the wheel would take up almost all of the space for our robot. But, I suppose it could work well. I am going to look into this more.

Any other ideas? I can never have too many
