Re: Hopper Design
we used a square hopper this year and it worked out great once we figured out how to que discs in it. what we did was have the back wall that the frisbees fell into and hit be slanted and also have a small shelf that hung over the first frisbee and caught subsequent discs. the geometry made it so that only one disc could get in and virtually never jammed.
it ended up looking something like this from the side
