Re: Ball Intake Mechanisem

To be honest, this style of mechanism is never going to be as effective as a traditional roller pickup. They're also not particularly easy to build when compared to a simple through-the-frame roller intake (several of the Ri3D teams did these, reference their material for ideas).

I don't want to sound overly negative, but I would strongly recommend against a pickup like this.
