Somewhat, the ball just goes to the hoper in a helix pattern. Once it is at the bottom, the silo brings it up to the shooter. The only reason it rotates is to aim the shooter in a more precise mater than to just use the drive train. It is a little unclear but our shooter is shooting from the side and not from the front.
