I dreamed about this robot last night. I was trying to figure out how they made the white polka dots. *sigh*

The white dots are small white labeling stickers that are the same size as the holes we drilled in the PVC spacers. They make a pretty cool effect as we run the belts.

Thank you! Basically, it picks balls up off the floor and holds them in the top "hopper". The belts run continuously to ensure constant agitation and to keep the balls from settling. It can hold around 20 balls before they start spilling over the sides from the motion (think about a concession stand popcorn machine...). We drive up to a goal and the front door of the hopper opens, then the balls come tumbling out. We can unload all 20 balls in a little less than 2 seconds.

Looks like another good robot form Cyber Blue! And with a Practice bot I am expecting some big things come around April.
