Where to start, where to start.....
What is the purpose of all the chain and belt reductions? All the orange cord (is this what u are talking about?) was used to bring in balls towards the shooter wheel...i wish i could say it worked perfect, but it was far from even though it helped some.
That drill/fisherprice combo is only driving the spining wheel right? The drill fisherprice combo actually got modified down to just the drill (opps, forgot to mention that) and the drill powered the orange cord and the wheel.
Also, did the wheel have enough rotational inertia to keep spining after a ball was chucked at it? Yah, we tested adding weights and stuff to the wheel, but the normal wheel and the drill motor worked just fine, if we got the balls to go in nice and straight it could shoot them through pretty fast w/o slowing the wheel down. (kind of had to see that to believe it)
Last, you wouldn't have those videos in a WMP compatible format would you? No, but i wish i did, especially since the ball collection in that video is pretty crappy...Anyone have any video from Nationals or Motorola Midwest Regional of us collecting balls?
