Re: pneumatics or motors?

What about using pneumatics for the ball lifter (that carries the balls into the shooter from a ball gatherer)? In 2006 it seems like a lot of the more successful teams used rollers and belts in a conveyer system to carry the balls. We were wondering if we could use pistons to literally push the balls up into the shooter. All I know is that our rookie year in 2006 we tried to use an auger and failed epically.
