Re: ball feeder

OK keeping in mind the ball picker upper is the first priority and a thrower is second.
Cuz the picker upper stuff is in machining so we have time to look at throwing.
(I guess that is the end of the disclaimer)

So far it looks like gravity for the final approach to the spinning wheel.
i.e. we don't want any lost momentum to 'snatch' the ball away from any delivery system, hopefully we can find teh space for a small approach where the ball will roll downhill into the wheel chute.

So the short answer is gravity to feed.
