Honestly we just put our loading ramp wherever it would fit with our hopper and shooter built as is, but it has been working pretty well for us. We load form the 62" slot and the drop of about 20" helps to make sure the frisbees seat in the bucket well. Before we were going to try "chucking" the frisbees through the 42" slot but one of the students was insistent on trying the 62" feeding and it works much better.

Last year was already really competitive as it was (I believe Milwaukee had one of the highest average OPRs for a regional), I expect this year to be just nuts with everyone in attendance.
Thanks for all the kinds words everyone, good luck this season!

If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. - sanddrag [more]
