I don't mind you asking. In fact, I sort of expected questions. It's really hard to tell what we're doing. The four-wheel apparatus is our harvester, which can harvest about 10 balls, through the scooping apparatus in the front into the lower bin shown and spit them out into the lower corrals. Balls must be thrown (by the HP) into the upper bin, which holds 5 balls. So, for the shooter to be effective we must throw balls into it. Then again, one thing we need to do is preload the shooter. We're going for accuracy, even though we can "rapid-fire". After all, what good is rapid-fire if you constantly are too short, too high, or too wide?

I wish I had a video, but my camcorder was dead. So I don't have one.
