Re: Designing a "belt + roller" conveyor for balls

I'm a little puzzled at the need for a specially designed clutch in an intake system (especially a belted one). It seems a lot simply to design your system to slip before it stalls your motor, especially if you're using a fan-cooled motor (such as the RS series). Almost every polycord-based conveyor will do pretty much automatically.

In other words, have your intake roller/conveyor act as your clutch.
