With the materials you have on hand, how hard would it be to create a minimalistic ball acquisition and storage system (a la 1902 in 2006)?

Re: [DFTF] The Classic Blunder...

Yeah, the 30lbs is HUGE! We added enough length to our arm to use the 3rd row in between regionals last year. Concentrate on the drive train and the gatherer, fix the shooter and bring it to the regional. You'll sacrifice most of Thursday but it is better than nothing.
