Re: pic: Team Rush 27 - Shooter Concept

so, how do the balls go from your other pictures to be put within the wheels to shoot towards the goal? the force of pushing them upwards allows them to get sucked in with in your shooter and there it goes?
the balls simply transfer from the ball elevator, through the turret and into the shooter. you can't see from these pics, but the design allows for the lift rollers to get extremely close to the underside of the turret.......balls pop up through the bottom and fly away.

the design was executed in such a way that the location of the turret and the elevation of the gun don't change the loading location.
