Good luck in New York.

The ball just goes under the bumper, and there are some various chunks of wood to direct it to the center, where the intake roller is. Then when it contacts the roller, it goes up the track until the sensor detects it, and turns off the roller. When it's time to shoot, the shooter roller spins up, then the intake roller moves the ball further along the track. When it hits the spinning shooter roller, it's gone.
Two moving parts in our ball mechanism. Not bad for having the ability to collect balls, and make high and low goals.
edit: I found a picture, this is sort of old, we added a couple more chunks of wood in there since. And added a belly pan.
Since you have to undo all the connections anyway in order to swap them, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to do some simple and straightforward troubleshooting. - Alan Anderson [more]
