Gary,

I'm interested in learning more about the wheel on the forked arm at the intake. It looks like the idea there is that the wheel and forked up ride up over an incoming ball such that the wheel finds itself in the center of the quarter-round ramp? So, essentially, the ball and wheel are each rotating about one another in space?

If so, that looks like a pretty cool idea and nothing I've seen on an FRC robot before. I'd love to see some video of it in action.
