We will be having a conveyor about 8 inches from the back made out of industrial belt. It will take them to the top where a small ramp will shoot out the balls. Our best distance is about 5-7 feet away. We can slow down the motor to shoot closer and we can shoot a little further away with less accuracy. The last test (on the wooden platform you can see on the left in the last picture) we did we scored 14 out of 15 from 6 feet.
