There will be a cut out in the front of the ramp. Another roller will go between the white intake roller and the first black dump roller. The intake roller and this new roller will be wrapped together with polybelt. Behind these rollers we'll have a vertical wall of material that will cause the balls to roll up and then out and down onto the ramp - we're calling this the "Waterfall".

The cut-out piece of ramp will be re-attached with a hinge to act as a "trap-door" that folds out of the way when the elevator is in the floor position, and folds back down when the elevator lifts the ramp to score in the low goal (between the two black rollers) or dump into other robots (above the top black roller).
