Has anyone tried bowling a ball through the flaps yet?
Yes we tried, and the flaps still block balls from going through unless it it shot through at a very high speed. Also, they each rotate separately and are slightly stiffer, therefore basically impossible to wrap around the bar to the point where it starts spooling up.
And if your robot could fit through the old version, it will have no problem fitting under this new version either.
