*sigh* That video was always a disappointment to me. The potentiometer on our control board used to ramp up the roller speed had failed and as a result we missed the last few balls as the rollers bogged down and stalled. It is, so far as I know, the most widely distributed clip of us running a line, and we didn't even get them all!

Oh well. Better then the first few clips of us running a line. Until we learned to properly ramp up the roller speed, balls would just shoot straight up 15 feet and out of the hopper. It was impressive, but useless. My co-driver and I had plotted to do it intentionally during our first practice match with out telling anyone, but decided against it at the last second. The scoring table was right next to the field and we didn't want to bombard them on our first day out.
