EDIT:
Beautiful integration of your systems! How does your intake work to load the ball into your catapult?
Thanks for the compliment means a lot! It may be kind of hard to see but on the front chassis rail is a small piece of vertical lexan. This piece of lexan bends and helps the ball climb up. It reaches a point where the ball goes over the lexan and the lexan bends back into position. Through prototyping, we found that the ball falls into the place where we put the catapult head. We are probably going to add more lexan "Walls" near the catapult head to help the ball fall into place. Does that answer your question? Feel free to ask more questions if you want!
