Yeah we were thinking about the same design. Were not positive what were doing yet, the drawing looks great.

Re: pic: Anyone doing this?

We originally tried a variant of this with a twist - the rollers would be spin at increasing rates to accelerate the balls. It was a cute idea, but never produced a fully working prototype since we decided that a) it would be heavy, and b) more moving parts = more likely to fail.

Good luck!
