It had a conveyor that could fit between the pipes, score multiple times at one trip to the goal, and make room in the goal if it was full. It could hold two balls in the 3 point scoring position and protect them both. Simple in concept yet ingenious in design. The construction is of the highest quality in every respect. This machine is in my top three and should be in the FIRST Hall of Fame. As mentioned before, FIRST should use this premium example as promotional and inspirational material for the newer teams not as fortunate to witness this incredible machine.
