Nice!

Thanks......we haven't tested our sensor with a blue ball, however it works well with our red ball and other objects that pass in front of it. We did notice variable readings over longer run times and are going to be keeping a close eye on things.

The top pipes were bent using (for lack of better terms) a large sheet metal roller. They were bent to the same radius as the ball. The bottom grippers were bent with a bunch of patience, and small bends on a hydraulic bender, but we have also bent similar things on a manual bender.
