Re: 2363 prototype pickup arm

For those of you wondering where the frisbees go after leaving the pickup arm, here's a photo.



The disks go from the pickup arm to a simple conveyer, which drops them in the top of the hopper. The hopper holds four disks. When full, (or anytime, really) the hopper flips up to the shooter, and the disks are rapid fired by the shooter arm.
