Would you mind explaining what this is a picture of? A fan or suction by chance?

Looks like a CIM powered suction system to me. We'll find out for sure in ~42 hours!

Heh. Looks like a huge microphone.
To capture the cheering, I guess

Re: pic: What we're bringing to North Star

I'm guessing a blower for ball direction rather than suction for ball possession. (An axial fan sucks at sucking, but does OK at blowing). Maybe they are planning to blow balls off the rack to defeat 469 type strategies?

Or perhaps a Blower fan for propulsion of some sort of Hovercraft?

I can dream, can't I?
