This is the concept we are planning to use, modeled at 1/3 scale with gamepieces that are affordable. This spits balls out into two streams, but if you make half of the hopper it should shoot balls out into one stream reliably.

Great minds think alike! We've done an extensive amount of scale modeling using the bad boys below. 2.97:1 scale with really similar materials and the exact same hole pattern!
