Re: Hopper Capacity

We have a switchback magazine/hopper design (it has metal bars in a sort of Z configuration) that can hold ~8, our conveyor can hold ~4 and another ~6 or so can go on top. These are all estimates based on a mentor's CAD of the robot, which I have evidence to distrust. We couldn't test them before ship b/c we have only three balls. My more realistic (I think) count from eyballing is ~5 in the hopper thing, four on top and five in the conveyor. Still, we figure since the opposing team's human player isn't going to throw US the ball, more would be excessive. (I wanted ~20, but this should work... I hope)
