+1 on the braking system as we added one between competitions. Very helpful in balancing as it helped us to a #3 seed at Palmetto. Our first competition in Orlando was a different story....... We also used a slanted elevator, and a turreted shooter. For the transition from elevator to turret..... a stainless steel mixing bowl It slowed the shooter down a bit, but the consistency was pretty good as the ball was always presented to the centerline of the shooter. I heard from another team attending CMP that another team there used a bowl as well. Can anyone confirm?
