Not that I know of because as I said, no teams attempted it in competition. There was a similar thread on Delphi back then, but for most it never made it past the concept stage, and the teams who prototyped it found it wasn't working as well as they wanted.

Remember, the balls are going to be traveling at a relatively fast rate of speed. In order to change their momentum, it will take a lot of work. If you think of physics W = f * d, you'll need a considerable force (f) for such a short distance (d) window. If anyone wants to pursue this, most certainly don't let me stop you. However I would suggest that no one put all their eggs in this basket, as it may not work out as well as you'd hope. Good luck!
