At our meetings, the word "hopper" is regarded as an obscenity. Mention it and you'll be thrown out. I have only seen one good hopper bot -- it was in 2002 and it sucked up soccer balls like mad. I don't remember what team it was, but it kicked butt in its first couple matches at nationals .... then everyone figured out all you have to do is tip it over when it becomes so top heavy because of all the balls its carrying.
