This is exactly why 4607 has what is essentially a 2 stage hopper. The first stage is large (60 Fuel) but the transfer to the shooter is relatively slow. The second stage is small (24 Fuel) but the transfer to the shooter is extremely rapid. This setup will allow us to empty the second stage hopper during every Gear cycle. Then while we're in the process of cycling our next gear, we can be transferring Fuel from our slower stage 1 hopper to our fast stage 2 hopper. This setup should minimize the amount of wasted time hopefully!
