The shooter wheel is what you see sticking out from behind the upper left corner of the white spiral staircase. Viewed from this angle, the balls will be shot out to the right.

The balls are picked up from the floor at the bottom of the yellow elevator. They are lifted up and dumped in the top of the ramp. (The top is open, so that it can receive balls from the human player too.) At the bottom of the ramp, a conveyor carries the balls to the left, and up to the shooter, or it can be reversed to spit the balls out toward the right, into a corner goal. The time from a ball being picked up to being shot is approximately 4 seconds.
