The major mechanisms haven't changed since kick off, actually. The structure that supported them, however, was completely rebuilt a few weeks ago. So, while we'd always intended to use the fabric hopper, the frame that it lives in was not designed well enough to deal with the troublesome nature of the balls the first time around. It's now considerably more stout and the balls move freely through the robot regardless of number.
