Re: Ball auger/screw

You are correct that we are trying to position the ball to the center or perhaps one side.

For those of you who have seen a farm combine work, it uses a wide pick up mechanism (eg. corn head or bean head) and has a rotating shaft (each side has auger/screw to push to the middle) at the back of the head to pull the grain to the middle of the combine.

I could not find a picture of Team 111 Wildstang, but the video made it look like they had side plates that funneled the ball to the center.
