Re: Drum shooter?

I'd love to see a continuous stream of balls flying out of a drum!

Consider the power consumption. The balls are pretty light, but trying to pull several up from the bottom of your hopper with enough speed to propel them 5+ feet in the air, all using the same mechanism is going to be challenging.
