So we basically pick the balls up with PVC rollers driven by 1 fisher price motor then they are brought up with belting (I'm not exactly sure the type it is) and then dropped into the spiral. Then the balls just go through the spiral and end at a series of belts that are driven by another fisher price motor to either be ejected into the small goals or brought up to the shooter. The shooter is powered by the big CIM and uses two parallel 8" Skyway wheels to shoot the balls. The drive train is just 6 pneumatic tires. We are also using the camera and a yaw rate sensor which you can't really see. If you have any other questions or want to see more pix let me know.
