Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3

Hmm... I'm going to take a wild stab at guessing what's going on here. I see a touch of a mechanism at the top, and a massive hopper with collector at the bottom; however I don't see any belts in between them. (I guess one could be hidden by the guy at the front, but it'd be a pretty small conveyor) So here is my shot in the dark: the robot human and ground loads (based on the position of the t-shirt it looks like an open top) to fill up a huge hopper for a power dumper. The floor of the hopper is actuated upwards to bring the balls into contact a roller at the top that spits out balls until the hopper is empty. I'll guess capacity at 40-50 balls and dumping speed at 8balls/sec. Am I close?
