Originally our intention was to collect all the balls behind a 'trap door' before driving over to the player station and unloading. We had some issues with balls not coming out of the hole cleanly when we did this, however. At some point we got frustrated and tore the stupid flap off before doing a dump. All the balls rolled into the corner in a nice (relativly) neat pile. So yes, we are only a redirector, but it seems to work quite well.

The high side folds out of the way neatly, and the lower side folds away with the help of a little winch. In a perfect run we should be collaped back into our starting configuration before the other teams can get over to our side of the field.
