Stop by our pits and ask our students about the innovative measures we've taken to save build time.
Cliff,
You guys are modest. It's a perfect example of an elegant solution that the students worked on. I'm really impressed by this machine. There's nothing wrong with being reliable and simple. Less things to go wrong and consistency makes for a great alliance partner and builds championships.

I really like the use of the hood and how the balls circulate to either the hopper or be delivered. What controls the orientation of the hood? Cliff I like your responses, but if one of your students could answer this question I would be even more jazzed.

I'm planning on coming over and talking to your students at PIT and Philly. Can't wait to see it and hopefully run with you guys.
