Talking Re: ball "fuel" hopper sorter

We are using the same concept as a paintball power hopper. Using a small motor with a rotor mechanism to keep pushing the balls around. It works great in my paintball hopper, we'll see if it works for this project. We're prototyping this with a small motor turning a lightweight rotor (3D Printed). Who knows. I really am hoping my team doesn't go obsessive/compulsive about this part of the game. I'd much rather spend time placing gears and hanging than wasting a load of time working on a shooter that shoots a ton load of balls for mediocre scores. Thank goodness the chassis, electricals, and gear delivery system is finished.
