They will build pressure against the other wall of the pipe, and eject them accordingly. Any ideas?
I'm not the best person to ask, but you could mount both wheels to two parallel c-channel bars (or two custom machined bars) and then add material to the wheel (surgical tubing etc) until there's enough contact between the ball and both wheels. Or you can put two wheels on the same axle spaced appropriately, then two more on a lower axle to sandwich the ball. This is jsut for the shooter, feeding such a design is another challenge
