I've seen some of your build season pictures, and I can't figure out how you keep the balls from jamming. It seems to me that balls could jam in your upper hopper with only the single roller. Does the geometry and slipperiness of the hopper just not allow the balls to jam up?

[EDIT] Upon closer inspection, do you reverse the ball intake conveyor to help move them towards the dumping roller?[/EDIT]
