That's a very nice design. Are the six white rollers on your intake for making the Boulder go to the middle as you spin the long roller?

It was great to meet your team at Championship last year. Our team members learned a lot about game piece control from visiting your team.

Best of luck this year.

Yes, the six angled white rollers cause the boulder to move toward the center as the intake roller turns. The concept is similar to centering a ball with a mecanum wheel. The difference is we put the rollers in a line instead of around a wheel and turn the ball instead of the wheel holding the rollers.
