Re: Hopper?

Just remember that if you store balls in the conveyer belt instead of inside a hopper, you need a way to keep them in place without stalling your belt. If your ball is stored next to your shooter, if your belt is running the ball will stall the belt and could burn out your motor. But then again, if your ball is rotating in place, there may not be enough friction to bring the ball into the shooter. All things our team is struggling with
