How do the balls move up into the hopper? and how does the dumping mechanism work?

Overall very good looking dumper design.

Yea we haven't totally finished the CAD yet, and probably aren't using all the materials we depicted.
We're using some series 20 extruded to make the chassis for the most part.
The conveyor mechanism works by using urethane tubing to carry the ball up. The conveyor would be on the front and back of that rectangular piece that leads up to the hopper.
Once in the hopper we plan to spin the ball into people's trailers.

1 week to finish this up, wish us luck!
