Go to Post (middle school age) One time I had a truly awful day at school and came home crying. My mother's response? "Do you want to go to the build session tonight? It will make you feel better.." And it did. It always does. - rachelholladay [more]

Actually possible? Definitely. I have learned never to discredit an idea, as every idea my team throws out will be tried by another team!

Efficient? Personally I don't think so. The whole "rolling" idea instantly scares me, as that implies a passive ball handling. If you have a ramp or chute let's say that the ball rolls down, you lose active control over the ball. My idea of a better "dropping" method would have a roller push the balls out with very little speed, so you'd accomplish the same thing, but maintain positive control over the balls and have a much faster delivery system. Let us know how it turns out for you guys!
