Yeah, that was us. I think that was the lightest conveyor ever... made of nothing!
This was a typical Mark Koors invention. During brainstorming, he said "let's just throw the balls up into the basket with a wheel". The students and other mentors (me included) just said... "yeah, right". After many weeks of tweaking, this ball thrower was very efficient.
I have the dubious honor of being the coach in this match AND the dreadful F-3 match at Boilermaker this year. Maybe I should remind our alliance before each final-finals match "hey... let's try not to score on ourselves."
