We can store balls inside of our conveyor belt system by reversing the top most roller. We're having an issue with our program right now so it wasn't working in the videos

I noticed that the entire front is used for ball collection, meaning you wont be able to put any bumpers on it. Will you have enough room for a 2/3 bumper perimeter.

I only mention this because our team was concerned about it and we have 12 inches of bumper on the front.

Great work though, are you planning on being able to stop your collection system and wait to release the balls or will it be constant?
Thanks! And We can fit 2 six in bumpers on the front.

Sorry for answering your questions guys
Thanks, It's coolio
