Man, trawling line is a lot more useful than you'd think in robotics. We used it to raise our forklift last year, and we're using it again this year to sew our belts together (SBR type belt, and we couldn't figure out another way to connect the ends). It's fun stuff, only problem I have with it is that our stuff is dark green, so every time you work with it your hands end up looking like you were playing with old copper.

Nice design, we thought about a hopper but were afraid the balls would end up getting stuck. This is a good way of lessening that issue while weighing almost nothing!
