Timbit #2: if you look closely they have another mini puncher on the end of their roller claw which they can use to poke the balls off the overpass. I've only ever seen them use this once, its another shaft in a linear bearing connected to a small piston.
I GET IT!! WE HAVE TIM HORTONS IN MICHIGAN AND THERE AWSOME!!!
