Here's a picture of our prototype loader/shooter mechanism: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1294.

I don't have a picture of our ball scooper, but it uses rollers and a belt. Hint: poof balls squish when you pick them up, just like they do when you shoot them.

Here's a question for the teams with big ball baskets/hoppers: how do you keep the balls from jamming up around the exit hole? The balls have a high-friction surface and are compressible. This sounds like a surefire formula for ball jams to me.
