Re: Fuel Capacities
Right now we think we will be holding about 50 fuel balls in our current hopper, which is fixed in the frame perimeter for the short volume. The hopper gives up some space to single file the balls 4 wide going into the fuel injector (low goal) since jamming is a much bigger concern for us than an extra few balls. Since I could see us getting into the 60 plus range with creative use of the intake conveyor for storage and sides that expand, and there is room for a gear from the loading station, I think 50 should be pretty achievable for any team focused on fuel.
