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

We're going for the low goal and not shooting since it fits our team's resources better, but still had to address this issue. Our goal is to dump 50 balls in less than 3 seconds with no jamming so that we can unload a hopper of balls quickly and move on. We're filtering the balls down to 4 wide with dividers to keep the balls in lanes at the base layer so that they feed well. Prototypes have worked well and we never had issues with hopper jams, we just have to finish final assembly this weekend so we can make sure the final layout works and tweak as needed. I'll take video of it working if I can.
