Re: pic: 1726 in practice
Are their any bristtles or pneumatic tubing coming out of the center of the helix to help the balls up btw?

It has some of that grippy shelf liner on it, attached to form "flaps" about an inch wide.

Re: pic: 1726 in practice
We got ours at the local WalMart for about four dollars per roll. Rather than compressing the balls to push them up the helix, the central roller slaps them really fast (1200 rpm), meaning there is very little load on the motor driving it.

If your robot design allows it, see if you can make a narrow path that the balls follow. I didn't get any pictures of your robot after you added the metal sheeting on it, but the one with the netting makes it look like the ball path is not much wider than one ball, but it doesn't really have anything at the top to keep the balls all in one line, they can bunch up next to each other. |
