The only problem we had was that balls kept falling over the edge.
We were very proud of our design.

The purpose of this thread is to decide which is better, although IMO there is not one better design. So along these lines how many balls can your system make per dump and how accurate is it. A lot of dumpers that tilt that I have seen, miss a vast majority of balls which makes there high capacity pretty worthless. I am also not a fan of relying on gravity to move things quickly.
