Re: best way to collect the balls

For ball collection:

I've really been stuck on using vertically mounted belts to grab the balls off the ground and drop them off in a hopper. wheels with poles(or whatever you call them) protruding could probably work as well. I don't know how many people of thought of this, but a big shovel could also double as a ball collector and storage. It may even be able to drop balls off as well.

I believe that being able to score in the centre goal will give alliances the edge needed to win. Because of this, I was thinking of incorporating the ball storage with the mechanism that feeds the ball firing device.
