If i remember right (im not too involved in the building) we are replacing what is seen in the photo (the stealth wheels) with one that comes down and rolls the balls into our shooting mechanism. With the one pictured the front wheels spin in a counterclockwise motion taking the ball in until it hits a button (not seen) that indicates that it has gone all the way in.

The shooter is on a lead screw, and can move up and down. Not sure if that fully answers your second question, but i try my best.

this is the first robot I have ever seen to use throttle motors. Very well done.
I love the integration of your camera; would you be willing to share your cad for the mount?
All in all this looks beautifully thought out, nothing sketchy at all. Great job.

I bet i could get the CAD for it. I'll ask for the file tomorrow and release it.
