FIRST Q/A answered this issue of a ball release by GRAVITY. (1-26-06)
We can not use the conveyor while the door opens - separates the two functions.

Re: (R04)
Our door rotation is limited so that the front face is not more than 5 degrees from vertical.

Sounds good! Great design! I would make the sides of the ramp taller to prevent anything pushing you into the goal, even with the algorithm.

Re: pic: Team 225 BEAR-O-Metric

Is 5 degrees enough slope to move the balls in quickly enough?...Just a thought. As for being pused in, I would also make the sides of the "ramp" taller so it gives you some kind of protection from going into the goal. Again, just anouther thought. But it appears to be a very solid and simple design with the potential to be a big scorer.
