The paint ball hopper of "doom"?

Since this is round, it probably involves a turret of some sorts. My guess is that the ball shooter is located below the opening, the the shooter/hopper are mounted on a turret. A ball collector off the floor sucks balls up to the top of the robot, and dumps them into the ball hopper. This way, they can continue to suck up balls regardless of their turret position. But, this is just a guess.
