Go to Post I'm wondering just what you think the people who DID set this system up actually do for a living instead? Sheep farmers? - DonRotolo [more]

Re: best way to collect the balls

Personally, I have to agree, because if balls have to ability to bounce around, even a little bit, at some point some will find a way to get jammed. It is also probable that if there are two balls in the funnel at once, they can get stuck against each other in the "neck" of the funnel. So, some more things to take into account when designing these systems.
