Yes Cory I was talking about having a roller directly feed a helix from the ground. With this design as well as ours it would be virtually impossible to add a human loading portion due to the balls being fed through the roof into the shooter. It would be possible to add a big helix around the bot but then you would introduce the possibility of jamming for the balls that are human loaded.

Also as has already been pointed out, with robots like yours and 148 if any team stops to human load, they will have already lost to you guys. I honestly see no reason to attempt to human load. The human player will better spend there time by trying to make balls on the opposing teams trailers. Plus it is not difficult at all to make a roller to suck up balls. There's enough balls that we didn't feel it would be an issue searching for balls...that is of course unless you guys haven't sucked up half of the fields balls.
