Re: How do your balls go from your "storage" to your shooter?

Yeah, that's one of the hidden challenges of this year's game. We haven't figured this out completely yet.
Doing gravity feed works ok as long as there's no bottleneck jam. And as the ball count drops, so does the push to the shooter.
I think a conveyor type system as shown above will be a good efficient method.
