Re: ball dumpers/throwers types

We did about the same thing, but we really just took the big CIM off of our 2006 robot (of course, we won't be using the big CIM...). A problem that I'm seeing right now just because of how the polycarbonate we're using guide the ball down, and with the shaking of the motor being mounted by 1/16" aluminum or something along that lines (might be thinner), the feeding will have to be centered, otherwise the motor may slow down a little bit. We've even had it jam before.
