I'm sure you'll get it eventually.

Also, it's minor, but the polycord conveyer on our bot is actually powered by a van door motor while the basket is currently opened by a geared window motor. This may change and we may be opening the basket with vacuum because its much more forgiving.

Oh i understand entirely. We have a ball hopper too, and our only proble has always been the delivery of the balls. We played with it all through our regional comp, with limited sucess. Hopefully that will change for nationals. Thanks for your help.

P.S. I dont want to be intrusive, but do you have pics of the system you have?
