Re: ball dumpers/throwers types

One of the ideas that we were considering was an active dumping system which is to say instead of relying on gravity to do our dumping we will have a a dumper which can propel the balls into opposing trailers. Also we will be able to control the dump in case the opponent manages to move out of the way. The design includes two barrels which should increase the rate of fire. It's an early desgin concept that still needs fine tuning but we fell we could take it somewhere.
