Re: Hopper?

were splitting our belt into two separate belts. The first sucks balls into the robot, the second goes to the shooter. If were not ready to shoot, we turn off belt 2 (to the shooter) but we can leave belt 1 (sucker) on. So we can still collect balls, and just hold them in the conveyor. when we are at our 3 ball max, we turn off belt 1. When were ready to shoot, we turn on belt 2.

I've seen a couple of other teams with a similar idea.
