Re: pic: How's this?

3/16inch is a great standard rivet/hole size to use. Size10 bolts fit in the same hole. However, I believe 1/8inch rivets will be fine for your camera mount.

Re: pic: How's this?

Looks pretty good. Actually reminds me of someone else's shooter... Ours is EXTREMELY similar, save the camera placement (we mounted ours on the side of the hood versus underneath the wheel) and the fact that we used two wheels instead of one.

One thing to note: we actually initially designed the "back" of the hood like yours, i.e. bars mounted horizontally to act as the backing/support for the ball. Yet, as the balls exited the shooter, they were compressed inside the spaces between the bars, slowing down the balls' exit speed to the point where we ended up tweaking this design. We kept the bars there, but added a piece of lexan with stips of foam taped to it, and we zip tied this assembly onto the inside of the bars (facing the shooter wheel). This dramatically improved our shooter's accuracy/ball speed/backspin on the ball versus using the bars alone.

Hope this makes sense. If not, come check out our pit at TRR.

Are y'all planning to have this ready for Austin?
